9th Festival dei Tacchi

in Jerzu and Ulassai from 2nd to 10th August 2008

How big is your dream?

Giving certainty to dreams means having the strength and desire to make them live. There are festivals in Sardinia that should be given the attention that is given to the most precious flowers.

Then if those buds bloom among the rocks of the Tacchi d’Ogliastra, then even more attention is needed, because its colors and its scent will surprise with its unpredictability. Crossing borders, walking on ancient paths that lead to new places, in search of a condition that gives serenity and pleasure to human existence. For this purpose, art and nature can do a lot, then when the two “environments”, the natural and the cultural, meet then the effect becomes disruptive and even more seductive. Being seduced by art in order to seduce life, in order not to remain clinging to what is a useless loss of ourselves and of attention towards those around us. Loosening up in order to find ourselves again. Nine days of theatre in unique places, for moments of encounter that still “tell” us that theatre is not only appropriate but infinitely necessary. Intentions and hopes, that push us to work miracles with money whose real amount we do not yet know. A risk that we take on, in an attempt to offer Sardinia a product worthy of what its people amply deserve. The need to find new formulas, for projects that do not liquidate the artistic product within the entertainment fair, push us to an even stronger contact with the natural environment that surrounds the towns of Jerzu and Ulassai. Putting ourselves in the condition of presenting each event in the right way, so that the spectator can enjoy it in the best possible way. For an idea Festival not only as an opportunity for meeting between those who act and those who assist but also as an opportunity for comparison with the most interesting realities of the national artistic panorama. Comparing to grow, to verify the “state of the art” of those who work and research in Sardinia. OgliastraTeatro as an important opportunity to grow and make grow, an opportunity to seize to draw the greatest possible lesson and on the other hand to show the quality of the productions that are made on the island and that have little to envy to the most prestigious that crowd the national scene; works that in recent years have further consolidated their specific characteristics, playing their role in the development of the languages ​​of contemporaneity. The Festival dei Tacchi as a formidable encounter between humility and audacity. The humility of those who are aware that they still have much to learn and the audacity in expressing in thought form, through their work, the “urgency” of still giving representation to dreams.

CADA DIE TEATRO

The story is always the same: wherever there are people who want to live quietly and peacefully, without hurting anyone, someone comes along who decides to exploit them mercilessly just because he is big, fat, rich and arrogant. Our fairy tale tells that not so long ago, in a small village in Sardinia surrounded by mountains, there lived a big, ill-bred, arrogant, smelly and very, very vain ogre-pig who had become the master of everything and eve...
