“Esedra” is a reworking of the video installation “Generazione va, generazione viene,” visible as an immersive projection at the Jewish Museum of Padua. The director Denis Brotto defines it as follows: “With this video installation, I wanted to tell the life of the Jewish community of Padua through some of its most representative figures, from the 1400s to the present day: rabbis, mayors, rectors, people who have distinguished themselves and whose memory is still alive today. But this work ideally aims to be the story of all the women and men who have been part of the history of the Jewish Community.“
