Ascolta "Katabasis di Marco Morana" su Spreaker.
Katábasis: the descent to the underworld, a voyage to Hell. The journey that Orpheus took down to Hades to find Eurydice. However, in military terms it also means withdrawal, retreat. It seemed to me to be a word well suited to the path we are currently following. We find ourselves in a new place characterised by a logic that is foreign to the world that existed before. We feel like we have crossed a threshold, and we are eager to return to the world of the living. But will we remember this descent? What memories will we hold on to? And in what manner do the powers aim to govern the story of this period?Marco Morana
Synopsis
An undefined location. He asks her questions; it seems he is trying to help her reconstruct the past. But her answers are always different. They have to always be different and credible, otherwise he will interrupt her and make her start over. Is it torture? Is it a test?
