Parallel Visions is a film review designed to accompany and explore some of the shows that make up the main focus of the season,Parallel Lives, placing the dialogue between literature, theater and cinema at the center.

The fifth round of the review is dedicated to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982).

The selected films are based on great novels or plays that, after having been consecrated on the big screen, come alive again today on the stage through new directorial and dramaturgical looks: Marco Bellocchio'sThe Seagull(1977), Claude Chabrol'sMadame Bovary(1991), Miloš Forman'sAmadeus(1984) offer emblematic examples of the transposition from the written word to the moving image. These are joined by freer and bolder adaptations such as Luciano Salce'sFantozzi(1975), François Truffaut'sFahrenheit 451(1966), andOrlando(1992).
Completing the review is a diptych dedicated to artificial intelligence: Ridley Scott'sBlade Runner(1982), inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel, and Spike Jonze'sLei (Her) (2013) offer food for thought on identity, empathy and the future of the human being, themes that the shows in the Quantum Intelligences thematic path welcome and rework through their own scenic sensibility.
