| Philosophy Plays
in The Cilento Philosophy and the theatre do not have a historically significant relation. We hope to be able to give them one, however curious it turns out to be. |

"Out-Loud" The Parmenideum is pioneering the rendition and enactment of many of the important dialogues from the history of philosophy. The Out-Loud "productions" can be as simple as reading from a script in front of an audience (with feeling and some flourish however) to full dress theatrical attempts (with lots of feeling and flourishes). The aim is to experience both enjoyment and to further learn about and deepen understanding of some of the greatest works from antiquity and recent history. We invite students of philosophy and indeed any discipline to apply for the honour of playing the various characters in the various dialogues. You may propose your own rendition or enactment of any suitable dialogue, which the Parmenideum will consider for production. The principle languages are Italian and English, though other languages can be considered if you can work out and propose a subtitling method. Full, free e-text versions of many classic dialogues and plays can be found at Project Gutenberg |
