23rd Festival dei Tacchi

in Jerzu and Ulassai from 4 to 9 August 2022

Thoughts on the Tip of the Tacchi

After two difficult years and the current one certainly not better, in which individual and collective freedoms have been put to the test, we can only cling to art, to theater, to try to stay afloat and resist the barbarity of a time that every day becomes more and more threatening.
In the present that becomes the future, we will have to, as in other moments, walk along ancient paths in which memory and progress will be indispensable ingredients for new flaming encounters, in the bold search for new dreams. All to be lived, all to be experienced for a Freedom to be cared for and protected like the most precious daughter.

In August, Jerzu and Ulassai will wear clothes embroidered with the threads of fantasy, thus transforming the places of living into paths of dreams and visions.
Countries where it would be nice to be born and live, far from the noise, far from the chatter that never turns into stories, far from the chaotic urban rhythm, if they were not often forgotten by politics.

A play with spaces and stories in order to allow the theater to bring its action even deeper and the places to continue to be seduced by the pleasure of the scenic moment.
Leaving behind the daily worries to enter a new dimension, in which suggestion, reflection and emotion become for a few days the new companions of a path that has always been confused with time.
The theater becomes a journey, the twilight lights up with new flashes and the night lights up with life. Giancarlo Biffi

Pesticidio

PIERPAOLO PILUDU

Bachisio is a simple man, strongly tied to his land. Together with his wife and son, like many other farmers, he is fighting against a large company, “Bentulare”, which has purchased enormous plots of land throughout Sardinia to cultivate them intensively. His son, Michelangelo, a graduate in agriculture, has been trying for years to combine the ancient agricultural knowledge of his grandparents with scientific research and productivity, in a...

Voci – Ogni isola ha il suo labirinto

ASSOCIAZIONE CULTURALE CA’ ROSSA

Voci is an experiment, an attempt to tell the myth of Arianna and Theseus from a female point of view, searching for the paradigm of isolation and diversity, enclosed within the labyrinth. And it is an imaginary labyrinth that the two actresses evoke through gesture, song and sound, in a story in the form of a musical work in which the materiality of the word and its evocative power become drivers of vision. Through recurring motifs and quotation...

La cortesia dei non vedenti

GIUSEPPE CEDERNA

“What happens in our lives, what must happen, for something of what we experience – a meeting, a book, a journey, a show – to touch us so deeply that it leaves a mark and becomes part of us?” With this question my meeting with 480 students began, in a beautiful theater in Emilia Romagna. The question surprised them. They were expecting a lesson on the First World War in the theater, not a journey around the world and life. From the banks ...

Diretto da Giuseppe Cederna
Dedicato to all

The STORIES OUT LOUD workshop with Giuseppe Cederna Telling. Telling. Telling. Telling an event we witnessed, an event that has disrupted our daily lives or the story of a friend, a family member. Of a stranger we passed on the street. Telling is also listening. It is memory, invention, truth and editing. Telling a story in a few minutes, choosing the details, the order of events, the tone, the rhythm. Telling with the pleasure and emotion of ha...

Full immersion

With the aim of increasingly establishing relationships with places and inhabitants of the host territories, and of combining the theatrical experience with an immersion in the uncontaminated nature of the Tacchi d’Ogliastra, spectators will be able to choose to participate in the yoga course, to excursions and guided tours in the area.

In collaborazione con Forestas, ci sarà la tradizionale giornata di “Puliamo il bosco” e la “Caccia al tesoro” immersi nella vegetazione del bosco di Sant’Antonio a Jerzu.
