COBERTURA TORINO 30: AGE IS… DE STEPHEN DWOSKIN (SPA)
Con los cánones narrativos de la tragedia clásica investigando la vida humana desde su mythos, Dwoskin pinta un óleo sombrío acerca de la existencia complicada del ser humano, su parábola para conquistar la locura y la muerte.

Ninguno de ellos se siente cerca al otro, y cuando esto ocurre es siempre en el peor de los casos. En vez de palabras, Graham prefiere un punto de vista más realista, enfocándose en los sonidos de la naturaleza, el de las montañas.
