Last year, we created an extravagant happening, a tribute to Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, a traversal of the novel by artists, actors, scholars, translators, and thinkers related to various zones, parts, topics, colors, temperatures, geometric shapes, organic residues, lights, and shadows of this incandescent and inexhaustible work.This year, the Rave will return in a new edition with many of the same performers and some new ones.

Year : 2018

From noon to midnight, in a rambling and non-sequential way, we will sketch the arc of the entire story through episodes, climactic points, karst zones, and other varying densities: a relay that invades the entire space of Paolo Pini and stands before the work as if facing a vitally insoluble enigma, first becoming a mirror of its issues, and then reflecting them from different perspectives, in respect of the rules set by the novel itself. The audience, equipped with a map and a notebook, will build their own path within the narrative labyrinth, choosing when to pause, what to avoid, and where to direct their desires.
