L’esperienza artistica di Luchino Visconti in chiave performativa

2011

Abstract

In order to read Luchino Visconti’s artistic experience from a performative point of view, we need to consider his constant aim to shock as an essential part of his work instead of an occasional corollary of it. This is true both with his films and with his stage productions. "Adamo" (1945) and "Rocco and His Brothers" (1960) offer two examples out of many.
