Silent Play for Two Poets: Dante and Byron in Ravenna – An Immersive Journey through Words, Places, and Inspirations
Silent Play is not just a guided tour: it is a narrative experience that transforms the city into an open-air stage.
Through special wireless headphones, participants hear not only the guide’s voice but also sounds, music, and scenic effects that create a collective and immersive storytelling. Unlike a traditional audio guide or radio system, this is a true “sound direction,” blending explanation, suggestion, and theatrical narration to bring places to life through all the senses.
Thanks to an original script, the journey reveals the Ravenna of Dante and Byron: the memorial sites of the Supreme Poet intertwine with those of Lord Byron’s adventurous stay. From the Zona del Silenzio to the Classense Library, all the way to Palazzo of Museums of Via Cavour, the city itself becomes part of the story, guiding participants on a journey through literature, history, and emotion.
Silent Play returns to Ravenna with a new and reimagined itinerary: those who have experienced it before will rediscover it in a different light, while newcomers will be surprised by a unique way of visiting the city—between soundscapes and timeless atmospheres.
