Cilentart Fest 2024: Art and Culture in the Heart of the Cilento
The Cilentart Fest 31 festival, now in its fourth edition, will kick off on Wednesday 2024 July 2024, thanks to the support of the Teatro Pubblico Campano, the Ministry of Culture and the Campania Region. Under the artistic direction of Alfredo Balsamo and Vittorio Stasi, the festival will promote art and live entertainment in the enchanting places of Cilento.
A Rich and Diversified Cultural Offering
National and international artists will animate the municipalities of Capaccio Paestum, Agropoli, San Giovanni a Piro, Centola, Perito, Moio Della Civitella, Omignano and Gioi, transforming them into cultural aggregation centers. The shows will embrace a vast artistic panorama, including performances ranging from theater to music, to dance. The program will be enriched by theater workshops held by masters of acting, writing, dance and criticism, with the TeC lab curated by the editorial staff of Teatro e Critica.
Theatre: Classics and New Releases
Several prose performances will explore themes from the past to offer an understanding of the present and the future. Among these, “Ivan and the Dogs” by Hattie Naylor, with Federica Rosellini, and “The Wedding of Antigone” performed by Ascanio Celestini. “The Life Ahead” will also return with Silvio Orlando, winner of the “Premio Le Maschere del Teatro Italiano migliore monologue 2022”.
Committed and Innovative
Authors-actors such as Massimiliano Gallo, Lina Sastri and Saverio La Ruina will invite the audience to reflect on identity, relationships and choices through their personal experiences. The show “Io” by Antonio Rezza and Flavia Mastrella, and “La lettera” by Paolo Nani will offer a touch of avant-garde, while the Collettivo Lunazione will propose itinerant itineraries in Cilento.
Dance and Music: A Bridge Between Past and Present
In the dance section, Alessandro Sciarroni will present “Save the last dance for me”, a show inspired by the “Polka Chinata”, an almost extinct male courtship dance. For the musical component, Andrea Baracco will direct a performance on Ovid’s “Metamorphoses”, while Marco Laudani and Claudio Scalia will explore new social habits with “Finger Food”.
Concerts: Rediscovering Traditions
The concerts will include performances by Napoleone, the Ebbanesis, I Virtuosi Italiani and A Toys Orchestra. These artists will offer a combination of classical traditions and musical innovations, from dawn concerts to gospel and soul notes.
Shows for Children
Even the little ones will find their space at the Cilentart Fest 2024, with shows ranging from the commedia dell'arte of the La Mansarda company to the circus spectacularity of the Baracca dei Buffoni, and the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm with “Hamelin” by Tonio De Nitto.
A Cultural Experience for Everyone
The appointment is, therefore, from next July 31st, to spend another glimpse of summer together, enjoying the wonders of Cilento and savoring its ancient history. The Cilentart Fest 2024 will offer a cultural journey into the past and present, guiding visitors in the discovery of what we are through the works of contemporary artists and authors.
