Sunset at Fossoli: The Grand Inquisitor. A reading based on texts by F.M. Dostoevsky

The voice of Emidio Clementi, the original music by Stefano Pilia and the Ensemble Concordanze, blending sixteenth-century polyphony with electro-acoustic experiments, guide us into the dark depths of one of the pivotal texts in the history of literature: “The Grand Inquisitor”, the fifth chapter of the fifth book of “The Brothers Karamazov” Fëdor Michajlovic Dostoevskij’s opus ultimum.

A tale within a tale that has shaken generations, an unresolved mystery where the ethical categories that each of us considers indisputable seem to lose all meaning.
