“Il Corridoio Rosso" is a tale of two corridors, one a copy of the other. One corridor is that of the installation curated by Giovanni Agosti and Jacopo Stoppa at the Triennale di Milano for the 23rd International Exhibition "Unknown Unknowns": the visitor crosses it to access four mysterious rooms inspired by natural elements. The other corridor is that of Agosti's own home, a place saturated with books, paintings and objects that contains - conceals - clues, traces and memories of a lifetime. Fiction and reality blur in a dual exploration that leaves unresolved the mystery of what is hidden at the end of the corridor.

Video version of the dramatic dystopian performance staged by Alexander Sokurov in Vicenza, on the stage of the world's oldest theater Teatro Olimpico. The plot is based on a free interpretation of the works of I. A. Brodsky, which tells about two characters doomed to life imprisonment.
