Thomas Mann: Mario and the Magician – A Tragic Travel Experience

On-site
Reading

Thomas Mann’s famous novella explores how people can be manipulated under group pressure – a metaphor for the growing authoritarian tendencies in 1930s Europe.
At its center stands the magician Cipolla, who uses hypnosis to push an entire audience at the Italian seaside resort of Torre di Venere into irrational behavior.
The reading will be accompanied by Sardinian guitarist Martino Dessi, who creates a fitting atmosphere with traditional Italian music.
