Sol Invictus
Christmas edition: sounds and performances in Milano, Palermo and Roma
Christmas edition: sounds and performances in Milano, Palermo and Roma
This year, Istituto Svizzero celebrates the winter solstice through a series of performances and listening sessions in Roma, Milano and Palermo!
At first glance, the celebration of sunlight and the celebration of Christmas would appear to be two opposites: the luminous splendour of the day and the silvery glow of the winter moon, the warmth of sun’s rays and the cold silence of Advent. Yet, Christmas festivities find their origins in the pagan festival dedicated to the sun, from Latin Sol Invictus, as the star that allows life on Earth, the light in the night, the one that defeats the darkness.
As part of the event Sol Invictus – taking place over three days in three different cities – Istituto Svizzero invites artists to show partly existing and partly new performative works to celebrate the solstice. Three evenings of movement, performances, sound, light and shimmering hope for the coming year in these turbulent times.
Food and drinks can be purchased on-site.
