The Festival
he festival was born out of a need for discovery and a genuine desire to meet, a desire to channel a multiplicity of energies and heterogeneous driving forces into an opportunity for exchange between individuals and communities, with different stories, experiences and languages. Readings aloud, live music, literature for discussion, writing workshops, theatrical performances and convivial moments in which authors, emerging artists, actors and musicians make their art available to create multi-sensory experiences.
he intention of the festival is to emphasise individuals in their relationship with the environmental context, with the community and in their relationship with expressions of art, be they books or performances.
To make the different languages of culture dialogue with each other with the intention of stripping the cultural event of its repelling elitist aura, to create moments that call for sharing around the fire, for the confrontation of experiences and sensibilities, for storytelling as participatory union.
The community, in its different social components, has a universal influence on each of us, giving us something in which to know and re-know ourselves. Language, signs, architecture, villages, landscapes, handicrafts, culinary and other productions constitute memory and identity.
Encouraging intergenerational encounters, through participatory techniques, performing arts and artistic disciplines, the aim of the festival is to rediscover the places that host it, like interactive books to leaf through, to re-read and in which to be conscious protagonists.
