«La Mostra» is the play by Claudio Magris, published by Garzanti in paperback (74 pages, in Italian).
The play reconstructs the life of the Triestine painter Vito Timmel, who died in an asylum, through his own words and those of friends, jailers, healers, fellow artists and beloved women. In the psychiatric cell and the museum hall, a babel of low and sublime voices resounds: memory, oblivion and remnants of a vanished Mitteleuropa.
The play was originally published in 2001 within the «Gli elefanti. Narrativa» collection by Garzanti.
Aimed at the general public, interested in contemporary Italian literature and in hybrid genres between narrative and theater.
Claudio Magris is an Italian scholar, translator and writer. He was a senator for Friuli-Venezia Giulia from 1994 to 1996.
