“Vertigine. Voci e visioni da Pompei ai Quartieri Spagnoli” takes place at Sala Assoli Moscato in Naples’ Quartieri Spagnoli from 17 to 29 November 2026, according to ANSA.
The opening film is Wael Shawky’s “I Am Hymns of The New Temples,” presented as an artwork created within Pompeii Commitment. Materie archeologiche. The film was made in 2023 and was presented by the Parco Archeologico di Pompei within its Pompeii Commitment contemporary-art programme.
The work connects contemporary art with Pompeii’s archaeological material, according to the Parco Archeologico di Pompei. It draws on Mediterranean myths, historical narratives and imagined stories, with themes of destruction and regeneration.
The programme brings that archaeological and mythic imagery into a contemporary performance and film setting in the Quartieri Spagnoli. Alongside the Shawky screening, it includes two theatre works, a documentary on the Regio IX excavations, a photography display and backstage videos.
The theatrical programme includes “Vertigine. Rito ed elettronica ai confini dell’abisso” from 19 to 22 November and “Playing Dioniso …di cenere, canzoni e altre cure!” from 26 to 29 November, according to ANSA.
The documentary screens on 24 November. It is “Pompeii the new dig: House of Treasures,” directed by Elena Mortelliti and produced for the BBC, Arte and PBS, and focuses on the Regio IX excavations.
