DESIDERIO | ATTO III
From 25 October, 2026 to 10 January, 2027 Société Interludio will present DESIDERIO | ATTO TERZO, the third and final chapter of a broader project exploring “desire as an opening in the direction of Elsewhere, as transcendence, as invocation of another possibility than mere presence of the existent” (Massimo Recalcati, Ritratti del desiderio, Raffaello Cortina Editore, 2018).
DESIDERIO (from the Latin de-sidera: “absence of stars”) carries within its etymology a sense of longing and anticipation, a state in which the stars seem to have vanished. It is from this absence that a yearning for the Elsewhere emerges: a watchful, nostalgic vigil awaiting their return; an awareness of something missing that compels us to seek a way forward; and a belief that there is room for the unfathomable, and for a horizon beyond that of everyday existence.
