Readers’ Break

Public and participative discussion on Mary Shelley‘s classic of horror in gothic fiction, Frankenstein (1818).

Explore the text and pick a few passages to discuss together !

In collaboration with Lightcube, and as the first of their ‘Blue Dots Sessions’, the book discussion will be followed by a film study and screening of various cinematic representations of Frankenstein across the ages. The evening will close out with a screening of Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein (1974), which is an incredible deconstruction of not only the iconography around the monster but also of the mythology of the haunted castle film.

Free and open to all !
