Throughout the nineteenth century, distant worlds and cultures perceived as \u2018other\u2019 exerted a profound attraction on the Western imagination; above all, the East became a space onto where to project desires, anxieties, fears and fantasies of freedom, transgression and adventure. Through a dialogue between words, images, music and stage performance, this lecture aims to demonstrate how exoticism does not merely consist of the choice of remote or picturesque settings, but constitutes a complex and deeply inter-artistic cultural language. Characters, landscapes, costumes, sounds, orchestral colours, gestures and images all contribute to creating a fascinating sense of distance, steeped in stereotypes and interwoven with power dynamics. We will also examine how this language has evolved over the course of the century: from the Romantic exaltation of travel, rebellion and extreme passions to the fin-de-si\u00e8cle sensibility, dominated by artifice, sensuality and the allusions of decadence. The session will thus invite participants to reflect critically on the ways in which European culture has imagined \u2018elsewhere\u2019 and, through this, has also defined itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:17%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\t<div class=\"show-dates-wrapper\"><div class=\"show-venue flex gap-12 margin-bottom-32\"><span class=\"icon-place\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Universit%C3%A0+degli+Studi+di+Parma\/@44.8007925,10.3233263,807m\/data=!3m3!1e3!4b1!5s0x47806ae42e98ee9f:0x102de9e5e0a3836c!4m6!3m5!1s0x47806b65238fcf3d:0x47fcf53265299ba6!8m2!3d44.8007887!4d10.3259012!16zL20vMDJiZDY5?authuser=0&#038;entry=ttu&#038;g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQyNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Aula Magna - Universit\u00e0 di Parma\">Aula Magna &#8211; Universit\u00e0 di Parma<\/a><\/div>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"show-dates has-light-gray-background-color\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"show-date flex space \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div><span class=\"icon-calendar\"><\/span>Fri 25 Sep<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div><span class=\"icon-time\"><\/span>11:30<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary-no-arrow is-style-primary-no-arrow--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">free entry<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"information\" class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\">Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"tabs-wrapper alignwide\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tabs-menu\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"current\" href=\"#getting-here\">Getting here<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"#accessibility\">Accessibility<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tabs\">\r\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"tab alignwide\" title=\"Getting here\" id=\"getting-here\">\r\n\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9b72719b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Universit\u00e0 di Parma<\/strong><br>Via Universit\u00e0, 12<br>43121 Parma \u2013 Italia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Parking<\/strong><br>Parcheggio Piazza Ghiaia<br>Parcheggio Toschi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"tab alignwide\" title=\"Accessibility\" id=\"accessibility\">\r\n\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9b72719b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Great Hall at the University of Parma\u2019s main campus is accessible to people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3385,"template":"","meta":{"trigger":"","delay_number":"","delay_interval":"","delay_active":"","action":"","action_type":"","footnotes":""},"show-category":[61,60],"show-tipology":[81],"show-target":[],"show-age":[],"class_list":["post-3378","show","type-show","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","show-category-edition-2026-festival-verdi","show-category-festival-verdi","show-tipology-meeting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FARAWAY WORLDS - Teatro Regio di Parma<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/teatroregioparma.it\/en\/show\/faraway-worlds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FARAWAY WORLDS - Teatro Regio di Parma\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"About A lecture in English, open to the public and students.
