PhD student in Aesthetics, in cycle XL of PHD course Philosophy, Science, Cognition and Semiotics (PSCS) at the Department of Philosophy, University of Bologna.

The project examines the relationship between philosophy and theatre from the late nineteenth to the twentieth century, showing how early modernist stage transformations function as conceptual devices that reshape philosophical thought. Through figures such as Benjamin, Brecht, Adorno and Beckett, it explores theatre as a critical laboratory that produces new ways of thinking about modernity.
