On October 2, 2024, as part of the VI edition of the “Festival delle Idee” and in collaboration with Savà–Produzioni Creative, the Teatro Malibran will host “Un mistero in piena luce: l’inconscio” (A Mystery in Full Light: The Unconscious), a profound exploration by renowned psychoanalyst and philosopher Massimo Recalcati.
The unconscious, often misunderstood as a realm of wild instincts and untamed barbarism, is in fact a constant presence within us—a source of desire that yearns to be recognized and embraced. Recalcati, Italy’s foremost proponent of Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theories, will guide the audience through this enigmatic territory, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of the unconscious mind.
Massimo Recalcati is a distinguished figure in the field of psychoanalysis. He is a member of the Milanese Society of Psychoanalysis, the director of the Research Institute of Applied Psychoanalysis in Milan, and the founder of Jonas, a Psychoanalytic Clinical Center for New Symptoms. His academic career includes teaching positions at prestigious universities such as Urbino, Bergamo, Lausanne, Pavia, Verona, and IULM in Milan.
Recalcati’s work has garnered significant recognition, including the Hemingway Prize “Witness of our time” in 2017 and the Ambrogino d’Oro from the city of Milan in 2018. He is also a prolific author, with recent publications exploring themes of desire, mourning, and the psychoanalytic roots of biblical texts.
This event promises to be a captivating journey into the depths of the human psyche, offering new insights into the mysteries of the unconscious and its role in shaping our desires and experiences. Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the unknown with one of the most influential thinkers of our time.
