The Pasolini Project is a translation and adaptation Pilade, a modern tragedy by one of Italy's most iconoclastic artistic thinkers from the 20th century, Pier Paolo Pasolini. 

Pasolini was a poet, film maker, playwright and polemecist. As a self proclaimed Catholic Marxist (he was neither in the strict sense) he was an avid critic of Capitalism and bewailed the loss of Italian peasant culture as a loss of our connection to a pre-historic sense of time. He blamed this loss on rabid consumerism and the "omologazione" (homogenization of culture) it caused. 

Pilade is a continuation of the Oresteia by Aeschylus and is inspired by 20th politics. It is a complex, poetic investigation of social change, democracy and revolution.
