The 2020 edition, entitled “Ludens”, is inspired by the humorous science-fiction story “The Unicorn Variation” by Roger Zelazny, who imagines a surreal and ironic chess game between Man and a fantastic creature, the Unicorn, in a battle to the last move. It is precisely this immortal game - chess - that inspires this edition: the chessboard as a space for the stage, like a field open to every possibility and the infinite variations of choice, the game as a gym for action, as a creative capacity, an ideal tool for reinterpreting the past and imagining all possible futures.
