Event #2
Jan Brokken, Massimo Cirri
Jungle Rudy - the loner and the community
We all have the willingness to move towards the unknown, to explore the unexplored, not to be corrupted by the most social part of existence, to break the bonds that tie us to family, origins, community. Is this actually possible? Starting from the tale of the life of the legendary Dutch adventurer and explorer Rudy Truffino – a man who left everything to devote himself to the discovery and the mapping of the Orinoco pluvial forest, in the south-east of Venezuela, once appropriately defined as “the lost world” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – Jan Brokken and Massimo Cirri will speak about solitude and community, about the possibility of staying true to oneself in a world that drives us towards forming relationships; about adventures, travel, individualism and social exchange.
Interpreter: Sonia Folin
