Wind in Your Shoes: On Foot Along the Danube River - an Evening with Italian Actor and Director Rosario Tedesco

Italian actor Rosario Tedesco presents his walk along the Danube river, from its source in Donaueschingen, Germany, to Budapest, from where he will contiune towards the Black Sea.

 "With this walk I would like to foster the knowledge of a modern Europe, seen through a sort of ‘horizontal’ eye to highlight how ancient and still undefined this area – commonly referred to as Eastern Europe – is, made of contradictions, different languages, people, historical links and recent wounds."

During this walk, Rosario Tedesco conducts interviews with "intellectuals, novelists, actors, film directors, sociologists, entrepreneurs, ecologists as well as common people to record both the cultural diversity and the interlinks within this area."

Why the Danube? He explains: "The river flows along a map, an area that represents the frontier of the new EU aspirations, i.e. to grow the number of its Member States even if it has never stopped to tear, still suspended between its past made of divisions and a future full of uncertainties. The main object of the expedition is to show the Danube river as the way to Europe, the Europe that we will become and we still have to discover."

Rosario will present films and photos, explain what he learned and whom he encountered.
