M. Pizzato 
Ghosts of Theatre and Cinema in the Brain

Pizzato focuses on the staging of Self and Other as phantom characters inside the brain (in the ‘mind’s eye’, as Hamlet says). He explores the brain’s anatomical evolution from animal drives to human consciousness to divine aspirations, through distinctive cultural expressions in stage and screen technologies.
