Helicotrema, festival of recorded pieces, is back at the Teatrino with two new appointments. Inspired by the experience of the first decades of radio broadcasts of the 20th century, the sound pieces are presented during sessions of collective listening.
This year the appointments organised at the Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi are inspired by major themes of Damien Hirst's exhibition Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable.
