Literature, philosophy and science meet in a lecture-show that--among clips from movies, TV series and music--explores ideas and archetypes of the fantastic, from dragons to aliens, from multiverse to our fascination with stories. Reminding us that the imaginaries conjured by our imagination are intertwined with our representation of reality, and with the actual imaginaries we construct to interpret it.
