From 22 – 23 – 24 – September – “Mystico” will arrive, the theatrical event with multimedia support and the use of numerous actors and extras.
Five scenes in five different sites will make up a single show, while the Vie del Gusto will give the opportunity to appreciate landscapes, paths and gastronomic tradition.
Gerardo Buonocore (Artistic Director of Gustaminori): “GustaMinori will obviously be in Minori. The village will become an open-air theater with five scenes in five important sites such as the Central Nave of the Basilica of Santa Trofimena, where we will have Jesus, while the final scene will take place on the sea. We will also have the triumph of the musical tradition of the Coast and of multimedia technology with great effects in the truly enchanting landscape context. We will also dedicate a scene to religious fundamentalism and denied faith”.
Extraordinary trips by sea by TravelMar to and from Salerno and to and from Minori are planned. The scenes will be repeated until midnight every day. It will be an immersion in the beauty of art and nature.
Event organized by Scabec Campania – Municipality of Minori – ProLoco.
“The Amalfi Coast is preparing to welcome the Vie dell'Arte of GustaMinori 2023, now in its 27th edition. From 22 to 24 September inclusive, in five engaging and fascinating locations we will have theater simultaneously with the support of multimedia technology”. This was announced by Gerardo Buonocore, Artistic Director of GustaMinori.
“The identity of the event as a cultural project at the service of the territory, aimed at bringing theater – Buonocore continued – poetry, music, dance and art “en plein air”, but also to places of artistic and monumental importance in the country, with an ever innovative and almost reckless connotation, has remained unchanged over the years. The theme of this edition is dedicated to the “meeting-clash” between the sacred and the profane. A challenge that seeks to investigate between the two heterogeneous dimensions, in their broadest meanings, and through suggestions and food for thought, give space to a great adventure of the spirit. The theme of the 27th edition will be “Mystico”.
Minori becomes Borgo – Open-air theatre.
“Five shows scheduled, world premieres – said Gerardo Buonocore – five different locations, five splendid ideal settings, in which to stage the various performances. In the central nave of the eighteenth-century Basilica of Santa Trofimena, we will start with the performance of “Jesus”, a theatrical and multimedia reproduction. A unique work of its kind, through sacred content. The show aims to interpret the musical, religious and popular tradition of our land, with a close correlation between the various sounds, video images, reciting and solo voices. A story told musically and scenographically also through video-mapping.
In Calata Ponte, the show will continue with “Il peccato”, a theatrical and musical performance directed by Gennaro Monti. Sacred and profane will intertwine and contrast in a fast and extremely rhythmic staging that puts on stage three deadly sins: envy, gluttony and lust, drawing from the texts of the great popular tradition, from the stories of oral tradition and from the legends of Campania that delve into past life, and mix “sanctity with santeria”. Lucia Amato is entrusted with the direction and direction of the other three scenes of the itinerant route: “Autodafè” in Largo solaio de' pastai, a show dedicated to fundamentalism and the condemnation of denied faith.
In the sumptuous and classical atmosphere of Palazzo Gambardella, along the main street, we will continue with the representation “Dio enlisted”. The Gott mit uns of the Nazis, the “punciuta” of the mafiosi, faith in support of crime.
A self-interested reinterpretation of the divine message according to criminal purposes. The artistic journey will end on the dock, in a suggestive setting between the sea and an enchanted landscape. “Another road….”: the title of the last scene”.
Faith as research!
“Faith as research, faith in the journey. With this show we want to highlight the research of the evolution of life and the rediscovery of a consistent part of it in cosmic evolution. “The ways of art” will range in a broad sense – concluded Gerardo Buonocore, Artistic Director of GustaMinori – in an ideal dialogue between the great existential questions and popular tradition, between sacred texts and literary masterpieces, between ancient secular suggestions and new impulses of contemporaneity. Music, art, culture, but also celebration and gastronomy. They are all expressions of human life and with simplicity we want to highlight them. Gusta Minori therefore remains a container of various events that offer a range of interesting and complementary proposals to the tourist stay”.
