The 'reportage from China' is a sub-genre in itself in Italian literature, also thanks to the long-lasting popularity of Marco Polo's Milione across the centuries. This workshop will focus on those writers and directors who, since the late 1940s to Mao Zedong's death, traveled to Communist China, describing the radical newness of the Chinese revolution in Marco Polo's most ancient footsteps.

This event is open to everyone, no ticket is needed, and those wishing to attend remotely can contact f.camilletti@warwick.ac.uk.

Students from China, Warwick and around the globe will be gathering at the Warwick Venice Centre for a summer school focused around the theme of Marco Polo and the Silks Roads. The project is led by Dr Milija Gluhovic (Theatre and Performance Studies Department, University of Warwick) and developed as one of the EUTOPIA Connected Community Education projects.
