Nasos Verbannung

In a stadium in Rome Publius Ovidius Naso’s journey into total solitude begins; a journey to the end of the world. A mandatory salutation left out by the famous poet, the fine-tuned mechanism of the administration and a motion of Emperor Augustus’ hand lead to the banishment of Naso. Based on a scene from the novel „Die letzte Welt“ (The Last World) by Christoph Ransmayr.
