In Corrado Levi Marrakech Theorie (2006-2019) we have a vicarious conversation with Torinese architect, artist and collector Corrado Levi in this documentary shot inside his sculpture-house in Marrakech in march 2006. It is a short autobiography that weaves fragments of his personal story with reflections on art, architecture, political commitment, classical music and writing. 

The voice-over of literary critic and essayist Liliana Rampello accompanies this free and eclectic wandering of the mind with precise questions and quick contextualisations. The conversation as a creative opportunity for exchange and reflection becomes the breathing center of the film.

Throughout the film Levi’s voice is enveloped and intersected by images of the city and its daily life, the paintings by artists from Essaouira, and the rooms of his home.
