"The next day no one died": so begins "The Intermittences of Death", one of the best-loved and most celebrated novels by Portuguese novelist, poet and playwright José Saramago.
The unmistakable voice of Francesco Pannofino gives body to the ironic, imaginative and paradoxical pages of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature, and transports the audience into an unbridled meditation on the implacability of death, which is also, however, a hymn to the only two forces that can, perhaps, put a brake on its power: music and love.
