The Most recent work of the director Ming Wong at the Festival d'Europa
“Devo Partire. Domani / I must go. Tomorrow”, the recent work of the Singapore director Ming Wong, taking inspiration from Pier Paolo Pasolini’s film “Teorema”, will be projected at Villa Romana 6 May at 19:30, in the first edition of the Festival of Europe.
Wong, an international artist, sets its movie in Naples, in places that, through the film machine, become symbol and metaphor of the human condition. Instead of following a unique perspective, Wong himself will play all the roles shooting five separated sequences for five characters. The showing becomes a direct participating experience for the audience that will watch the projection in the rooms of Villa Romana set as the home itself of the film protagonists.
