Thinking outside the palace
Dialogue between Ángel Gabilondo and Aurora Freijo within the cycle of 'Mondays, at Círculo'dedicated to the Year #Pasolini100 which is part of the publication of the book 'So Much Light. Pasolini' (Crumbs Are Also Bread), an essay that puts the intellectual Pasolini in dialogue with contemporary philosophers, artists and thinkers.
In the celebration of Pasolini Year, in which we commemorate 100 years since his birth, he is presented to us as a political thinker of full relevance, a visionary, who, with his diagnosis of Italy in the 60s, anticipated the disaster of hyper-consumption and the passion for normalization.
'So Much Light. Pasolini' is a conviviality of ideas and words, the "conviviality" of which Ivan Illich speaks. At this banquet, Pasolini is the guest who brings destruction, as he himself recounted in Teorema. There, Pasolini is a Dionysus, the one who sows mania, the one who leads the women of Thebes to become Bacchantes to kill King Pentheus. And behead him. Aurora Freijo joins the chorus of Bacchantes. She scatters dozens and dozens of suggestions around the guest, filling the plate [her flesh-book] with ingredients.
