Located in the heart of the Old Town, in the birthplace of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the MRL is a six-story cultural hub centered on literature. The venue features a permanent exhibition on Rousseau and engages with contemporary issues related to his works. It hosts debates, performances, and educational activities, while also offering residencies for writers and researchers. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a café within the space.
“LO SCOPPIO DEL CUORE” is an overnight, house-wide performance-installation conceived by Melissa Cascarino and inhabited by twenty interwoven artists and writers. Framed as a poetic, anachronistic vigil that begins with Pasolini’s autopsy report and tunnels into contemporary struggles, it erects a living, shifting monument to lucidity, resistance and the power of poetry. Visitors are free to wander through rooms filled with readings, actions and visual works, with food and drink available at the bar all night. Equal parts intimate confession and collective outcry, the piece carves into every “body” Pasolini evoked—social, political, poetic and ancestral—to confront today’s oppressions and ignite new uprisings. Special guests include Davide Cerullo, Sabrina Pisù, Martin Rueff and Gianlivio Fasciano.
