the first European festival on creativity

2023 Programme

Event #14

Massimo Recalcati

The trauma of loss and the working-through of a bereavement

What happens inside us when we lose someone we have deeply loved? What kind of void is left? What effort is necessary to return to life? And what happens when this effort seems impossible, and we feel lost together with those we have lost? Working-through a bereavement is a way to stay close to what we have lost without being consumed by grief. While our time exalts future planning and resourcefulness, mourning reminds us that looking back is not always a sign of helplessness, but it can also be beneficial to find the resources we need to return to life, time after time. Can a wonderful light come from the past? Can there be a wonderful light in the dust?
