- Summary:
- The Banquet explores the fragile, intricate links between language and longing -- how words can reconstruct great cities out of memories and dreams, tear them apart, or carry them from one place to another, as if each city, house and chamber were made of sonic and visual images rather than walls and bricks. Moving between the worlds of philosophy, theatre and poetry -- from Dante's Florence to Wittgenstein's Cambridge; from Tom Stoppard's theatre stage to the harsh landscapes of Rimbaud's poetry--The Banquet explores the ever-growing tensions between words and action, knowledge and ethics.
