Let the Games Begin

Set against the backdrop of a lavish, celebrity-filled party at Rome’s largest private estate, this satirical tragicomedy unfolds as an unexpected confrontation between a charming author and a satanic sect intent on destroying the event. What begins as a glamorous celebration quickly spirals into chaos, revealing the superficiality and vulgarity of modern culture. Winner of the Strega Prize, Niccolò Ammaniti’s work explores themes of fame, insecurity, and societal excess.
