bacco caravaggio 

Programme:


6 pm – Online screening of the capsule
The Caravaggio, 2020, 23′, produced by JAP .
This film is a presentation of Caravaggio’s work, life and battles
by Vincent Cartuyvels, art historian.

6:30 pm – Online screening of the scenic capture of
Io, Caravaggio, 2017, 70′, Cesare Capitani.
This movie is a portrait of Michelangelo Merisi, called “Caravaggio”, whose work has forever changed painting, with its brutal realism and disturbing eroticism. It is also a series of throbbing confessions by the cursed artist, punctuated, as in a lucid dream , by “a cappella” songs (Monteverdi, Caccini et Grancini) interpreted by Laetitia Favart. On stage, Cesare Capitani succeeds in the feat of embodying the artist, devoured by his passions, violent, rebellious, possessed by the thrill of sacrifice and death, while interpreting at the same time some of his masterpieces.
From the novel by Dominique Fernandez (Grasset).
Coproduction of the capture: Les Films d’un Jour.


8 pm – Zoom discussion on the
Sublimation of violence in Caravaggio’s work
with Vincent Cartuyvels and Cesare Capitani.
Moderator Joumana Rizk-Yarak.
