(2016) in the form of plays, and a video last year,
"Ramanujan"(2017), this year the school presents another
video, freely
inspired by Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for
Godot", and will raise a number of issues such as the
impact the digital era has on our present and future lives and
the potential danger of technology on humankind in general.
The video
"Godot" will be screened at the ICTP TODAY, 12 April 2018
in the Budinich Lecture Hall, Leonardo Building at 11:30 hrs
and at 17:30 hrs (the video is mainly in Italian with
