The Evidence of the Senses. Drama between the real and the virtual

About

Participants will attend a series of lectures on aesthetics and the philosophy of the senses, and take advantage of guided visits to historical sites and contemporary venues, museums and theaters in Milan. These activities will provide participants with the theoretical tools and the creative inputs enabling them to reflect on the role of the five senses in real as well as virtual artistic and dramatic experience. On this theme, they will work in groups to the final aim of producing a short drama.
