SUMMARY:Veni\, Vidi\, So - il Borgo Forte | JULY 26TH
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n\n\n\n“VENI\, VIDI\, SO – IL BORGO FORTE”\nDo we truly see when we see?And what happens when the gaze\, instead of possessing the world\, accepts getting lost? \nVENI\, VIDI\, SO—the gaze that knows is born from this simple and dizzying question. Seeing is never merely seeing: every vision carries a shadow with it\, every light guards a fragment of night\, every gaze needs a veil\, an obstacle\, a distance to truly learn how to know. \nThe performance by Compagnia Tecnologia Filosofica invites the audience to enter an experience of mobile\, fragile\, and continuously transforming perception. Two dancers and a musician inhabit the space like an open question: where does the action happen? From where am I watching it? What changes if the dance appears from the side\, from afar\, through a gap\, behind a threshold\, or within a sudden frame? And how does the music change when it does not simply accompany the scene\, but breathes together with the place? \nFor Narrazioni Parallele Festival\, VENI\, VIDI\, SO becomes a site-specific project built upon the locations of the Borgo di Fenestrelle and the Forte di Fenestrelle. It is not a single show repeated in different spaces\, but an organism that changes shape according to the landscape that welcomes it. The Village and the Fortress are not backdrops: they are bodies\, surfaces\, memories\, and perspectives—places that look back and ask to be looked at differently. \nOn July 26th\, with VENI\, VIDI\, SO_Il Borgo Forte\, the show focuses on the VILLAGE: here\, the gaze becomes wandering\, contact\, and minute life. The houses\, the passageways\, the openings\, and the everyday distances become points of observation. The audience does not merely watch: they search\, peer\, move\, and construct their own frame. The village becomes a body\, a place of relationship\, a space where the familiar can suddenly become enigmatic. \nVENI\, VIDI\, SO is an invitation to see with different eyes\, to listen with different ears\, and to touch with different hands. A performance that interweaves dance\, live soundscapes\, gesture\, matter\, and community\, reminding us—along with Merleau-Ponty—that we see the world\, yet we must learn to see it anew every day.

SUMMARY:Rapsodia di Terra e di Luna - Le voci femminili dell'antichità | JULY 4TH
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n\n\n\n“RAPSODIA DI TERRA E DI LUNA – LE VOCI FEMMINILI DELL’ANTICHITÀ” – ANGELICA CATHARIOU\, MARIA ELENA BOVIO\, ALEXANDAR GRANDAL\nThere are voices that arrive from afar and have never stopped speaking to us.They are voices carved in stone\, entrusted to the memory of temples\, preserved in fragments of poetry\, having survived the collapse of empires and the dust of centuries. Voices of women who do not belong only to the past: they traverse it\, they break through it\, and they illuminate it. \nWith Rapsodia di Terra e di Luna\, the voice of Angelica Cathariou\, the harp of Maria Elena Bovio\, and the bassoon of Alexander Grandal open a sonic gateway toward archaic Greece and even more remote civilizations\, forgotten only in appearance. The concert thus becomes a journey between vanished worlds and contemporary sensibility\, where music does not simply reconstruct the ancient\, but awakens it as living matter—fragile and incandescent. \nAt the heart of this journey emerge female figures who inhabited the word as an act of love\, power\, and prayer. Enheduanna\, princess and priestess in the empire of Sargon and among the first authors known by name\, projects a voice that unites the sacred with politics\, and song with spiritual authority. Sappho\, from her thiasos\, transforms desire into an absolute poetic form\, making intimacy a force capable of spanning millennia. Sulpicia\, in 1st-century BCE Rome\, imbues the language of love with a surprising freedom that remains close\, direct\, and ardent even today. \nGiving body to these presences is a trio with a rare timbre: the intense voice of Angelica Cathariou\, an artist capable of moving between musical theater\, operatic repertoire\, and contemporary research; the harp of Maria Elena Bovio\, professor at the “G. Verdi” Conservatory in Milan and an active performer across classical repertoire and the music of today; and the bassoon of Alexander Grandal\, principal bassoon of the RAI National Symphony Orchestra—an instrument with a deep\, archaic\, almost terrestrial voice.  \nVoice\, harp\, and bassoon form an unexpected sonic constellation: breath\, string\, and wood. Three different materials that evoke ritual\, storytelling\, and memory.   \nRapsodia di Terra e di Luna is not a museum-piece tribute\, but a living experience of listening. It is an invitation to recognize\, in the words of these women\, questions that have never been extinguished: desire\, power\, the relationship with the divine\, the body\, freedom\, and the possibility of leaving a trace. Because some voices do not ask to be remembered: they ask to be heard once again.

SUMMARY:Ancia Elettronica | JULY 3RD
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n“ANCIA ELETTRONICA” – ANDRAŽ GOLOB E CRISTINA MERCURI\nIn the spirit of the Festival\, encounters inspired by “parallel narratives” multiply: visions that intertwine in an exciting and surprising way\, even though they seem destined never to meet. \nWith “Ancia Elettronica\,” Andraž Golob and Cristina Mercuri inhabit this very distance: not to erase it\, but to traverse it. The project is born from the most authentic spirit of the Narrazioni Parallele Festival: connecting trajectories that would seem destined to move separately\, and discovering instead that a new language can emerge precisely from the gap\, the friction\, and mutual listening. \nGolob brings with him the rigor and depth of an international classical training: a Slovenian clarinetist\, he has been the bass clarinetist of the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2021\, following a journey that led him from Slovenia to Graz through orchestral and chamber music experiences of the highest level. Cristina Mercuri\, meanwhile\, brings the vibration of electronic sound—the possibility of transforming acoustic matter into mental space\, impulse\, reverberation\, and vision. \nTheir encounter does not seek a reassuring fusion. On the contrary\, it accepts the risk of contrast: references\, deviations\, hints\, sudden fractures\, and moments of unexpected synthesis. The reed becomes a threshold\, the electronics become breath; the instrumental gesture extends into the circuitry\, while the digital sound seems to search for its own flesh\, its own voice.   \nIn questo dialogo\, la musica si fa esercizio di apertura. Dimostra che un linguaggio comune non nasce dall’annullamento delle differenze\, ma dalla loro capacità di ascoltarsi. “Ancia Elettronica” è così una piccola\, intensa dichiarazione poetica contro i muri e le separazioni: un concerto come luogo di incontro\, in cui due identità sonore si sfidano\, si trasformano e\, per un istante\, imparano a parlare insieme.

SUMMARY:Moirai | JULY 2ND
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n“MOIRAI”\nMoirai is the Greek term for the Fates\, the personifications of destiny.At the invitation to draw inspiration from the art of weaving\, Bianco—accompanied by Monteverdi’s madrigals—highlights those slender threads that seem to determine our destiny: the mysteries of life\, love\, and death\, which are also intertwined within Monteverdi’s song.The threads of the Moirai\, inexplicable in their trajectories\, compose the fabric of an unknown fate\, often poised to surprise us with the unpredictable tearing of its mesh. The result is a work on the frailty of human affairs and\, at the same time\, on the passionate and continuous evolution of life.  \nConcept and choreography: Raphael BiancoMusic: Claudio Monteverdi

SUMMARY:Passi Egizi | JULY 1ST
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n“P A Ƨ S I Ʃ G I Z I” – SABRINA OGGERO VIALE TRIO\nThere are journeys that do not cross space\, but rather the deep time of civilizations.Journeys that begin with a voice and open\, note after note\, a threshold: towards ritual\, myth\, the night\, memory. \nWith P A Ƨ S I Ʃ G I Z I\, conceived by Sabrina Oggero Viale on the occasion of the bicentenary of the Egyptian Museum in Turin\, the concert becomes a sonic experience of passage. Not a simple evocation of ancient Egypt\, but an imaginary journey among powerful and ambivalent presences: creator and destroyer goddesses\, figures both revered and feared\, temple singers\, priestesses—voices that seem to emerge from a remote time and yet still speak to our present. \nAt the center is the song: guide\, invocation\, living matter. It is the voice that leads us through the nocturnal journey of the Sun God Ra\, bringing us before the “false door” of the temple\, where the boundary between life and the afterlife becomes a question\, a doubt\, a vertigo. It is the voice\, once again\, that calls upon Princess Ahmose—whose mummy is preserved in Turin—and finally opens a space of light with Amel—hope\, in Arabic—as an invitation to rejoice and sing\, now as then. \nDifferent languages—English\, Italian\, French\, Arabic\, and grammelot—merge into a sonic line that unites eras and worlds. Jazz\, folk and ritual singing\, pop\, and improvisation intertwine like sand\, wind\, and breath. Alongside the voice of Sabrina Oggero Viale\, the classical guitar of Loris Deval and the trumpet with live effects by Tiziano Codoro build an acoustic and electric landscape\, both fragile and visionary: nocturnal atmospheres\, ritual chants\, and delicate lyrical suspensions suddenly crossed by jazz and shamanic solos. \nP A Ƨ S I Ʃ G I Z I is a sonic bridge between what was and what continues to vibrate. A contemporary ritual in which the ancient is not contemplated from afar\, but awakened: like a buried voice that calls to us again\, from other times\, toward hope.

SUMMARY:Metamorfosi - Sentieri del mistero | MAY 25TH
DESCRIPTION:Book now\n\n\n\n\n“METAMORFOSI – SENTIERI DEL MISTERO”\nAn immersive\, site-specific experience where music\, dance\, and technology merge into a single creative breath\, giving life to an unprecedented sensory journey.In the heart of Campus Grapes—the world’s first high-tech urban vineyard—the audience is invited to lose and find themselves in a labyrinth of visions\, sounds\, and presences. There is no single perspective: everyone builds their own journey\, crossing choreographic “paths” that evoke ancient myths\, contemporary tensions\, and interior landscapes.  \nAt the center of this experience is the meeting between the international talent of oboist Pedro Pereira De Sá\, principal oboe of the Teatro alla Scala\, and the expressive power of the EgriBiancoDanza company\, the protagonist of a choreographic language capable of transforming space into living matter. The electronic and interactive sounds of Cristina Mercuri amplify and transform the sound\, making the spectator an active part of the work.  \n“Metamorfosi” draws inspiration from mythical figures and Ovid’s narratives\, translating them into a contemporary experience: nymphs\, deities\, and archetypes emerge among the vines like fleeting apparitions\, guiding the audience along an emotional and symbolic itinerary. Thus\, “Sentieri del mistero” becomes a journey both inside and outside oneself: a mosaic of choreographic fragments exploring light and shadow\, desire and restlessness\, love and loss\, with no defined beginning or end.  \nIn this space suspended between nature\, innovation\, and imagination\, the spectator doesn’t simply watch: they choose\, move\, listen\, and build their own narrative through the active use of their smartphone\, integrating live sounds with an ambient soundscape heard through headphones using this QR Code: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA contemporary ritual\, a choreophony in which every perception is transformed and every experience becomes unique. \nOboe: Pedro Pereira de SàConcept and choreography: Raphael BiancoLive music: Cristina Mercuri

SUMMARY:Angelica Cathariou\, Alfredo Castellani\, Nuray Shalman\, il Coro partecipato di NPF: "Gli Argonauti" | SEPTEMBER 21ST
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n\n\n\n“ALTROVE – ALTRI LUOGHI\, NUOVE VIE”\nThe Greek myth is revisited in the work of Willy Merz\, following the Hellenistic version by Apollonius Rhodes\, the famous librarian of Alexandria.The story of the love between Jason and Medea is viewed here through a rational\, scientific\, and unconventional lens: suffice it to say that all the protagonists carry out their actions almost with indifference\, if not outright annoyance. Jason would simply like to stay quietly at home\, while Medea seems more interested in the Greek’s fine clothes than moved by any real sentiment. Furthermore\, the story ends with the two lovers returning happily to Greece\, a happy ending that cannot help but make those familiar with the dramatic sequel smile.All this makes it a story decidedly in tune with contemporary sensibility\, allowing for a play of stylistic references within the score.A unique feature is then provided by the choral writing: very simple\, entirely in unison\, it allows those in the audience who wish to do so—following a preliminary rehearsal on the early afternoon of September 20th—to participate in the singing.A way of rediscovering the ancient community spirit of Greek Tragedy. \nJoin the choir of Argonauts\, even if you don’t read music! For information\, write to info@narrazioniparallelefestival.it  \n\n\n\nADMISSION FOR ALL PERFORMANCES OF THE “ALTROVE” DAY: €15 – REDUCED RATE FOR THOSE PURCHASING AN EXHIBITION TICKET AT FONDAZIONE MERZ (purchased at the Foundation’s ticket office): €10 \nA “NARRAZIONI PARALLELE FOOD & DRINK” AREA WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ENJOY A LATE AFTERNOON AND AN EVENING OF RELAXATION AND CULTURE.

SUMMARY:Angelica Cathariou\, Alfredo Castellani\, Nuray Shalman: "La Via della Carta" | SEPTEMBER 21ST
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“ALTROVE – ALTRI LUOGHI\, NUOVE VIE”\nEveryone knows the legendary names of Samarkand and Bukhara\, placed however in a sort of magical and unreal past. The lands of Central Asia and in particular Uzbekistan are indeed lands of great history and rich cultural crossroads\, but they hold within them an artistic and musical vitality waiting to be discovered. \n\n\n\nEven today\, moreover\, there is a tendency to forget that the production of paper with modern standards was for centuries the heritage of the city of Samarkand. The evening’s program is therefore intended to be a double play of perspectives\, between Uzbek and European composers\, to venture into an unusual landscape. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADMISSION FOR ALL PERFORMANCES OF THE “ALTROVE” DAY: €15 – REDUCED RATE FOR THOSE PURCHASING AN EXHIBITION TICKET AT FONDAZIONE MERZ (purchased at the Foundation’s ticket office): €10 \nA “NARRAZIONI PARALLELE FOOD & DRINK” AREA WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ENJOY A LATE AFTERNOON AND AN EVENING OF RELAXATION AND CULTURE.

SUMMARY:molom: "Frammenti di una matrice pronta a esplodere" | September 20th
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n\n\n\n“TERRA – IL SUONO DELLA TERRA\, I CANTI DELLE TERRE”\n“Frammenti di una matrice pronta a esplodere” (Fragments of a matrix ready to explode) combines the art of sculpture and its gestures with real-time sound processing through a live performance in which stone becomes an engraving material\, both musical and physically tangible. Granular synthesis\, polymeters of sound objects\, microsounds\, ripples\, dense matter\, and imperfections.  \nThe parallelism between fullness and emptiness highlights how sculpture\, the art of removal\, reveals hidden forms\, while sound manifests through the voids created. This dialogue between removing and adding creates a tension that invites reflection on the dichotomies of absence / presence and silence / noise.  \nMolom’s performances are experiences that embrace the interconnection between visual arts and sound art\, creating a vibrant dialogue between two art forms that are part of the two performers’ backgrounds. \nmolom (musica organica legata all’osservazione del movimento) is an artist duo that has been active in the artistic and cultural scene for years\, integrating sound and matter through a multidisciplinary practice. Materials are considered not only as static objects but as active elements that participate in the artistic action\, interacting with sound\, movement\, and context.  \n\n\n\nADMISSION FOR ALL PERFORMANCES OF THE “TERRA” DAY: €15 – REDUCED RATE FOR THOSE PURCHASING AN EXHIBITION TICKET AT FONDAZIONE MERZ (purchased at the Foundation’s ticket office): €10 \nA “NARRAZIONI PARALLELE FOOD & DRINK” AREA WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ENJOY A LATE AFTERNOON AND AN EVENING OF RELAXATION AND CULTURE.

SUMMARY:Christoph Hartmann: "Metamorphoses" | September 20th
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n\n\n\n“ALTROVE – ALTRI LUOGHI\, NUOVE VIE”\n“The concert is about to begin: the audience is kindly requested to keep their smartphones turned on!” \nIt is certainly unusual to hear such an invitation. Yet\, this is exactly what will happen at this extraordinary concert for oboe and—precisely—smartphone. \nThis is an innovative and technologically advanced version of Benjamin Britten’s Metamorphoses for solo oboe\, offering a complete immersion into the ancient Mediterranean world. \nFraming and contextualizing this work are several contemporary pieces reflecting on the themes of the exhibition at Fondazione Merz\, “Mario Merz Prize 5. Shortlist art exhibition\,” which will close on September 21st\, coinciding with the conclusion of the Narrazioni Parallele Festival. Among the pieces are Antal Dorati’s Five Pieces and a composition by the Sicilian Gianluca Cangemi\, Sacra * 3\, specially created for the occasion\, in which ancient Sicilian folk evocations intertwine with Palestinian songs. \nThe program concludes with the premiere of Metamorphosis by Willy Merz\, which blends sonic references to ancient characters from Ovid’s text with soundscapes of endangered natural sites through an experimental use of smartphone technology. Nature and Technology vibrate together with the music in an innovative way\, thanks also to the performance by Christoph Hartmann\, one of the world’s great oboists. A member of the Berlin Philharmonic since 1992\, he currently maintains an intensive concert schedule as a soloist in Europe\, Asia\, and the United States. \n\n\n\nADMISSION FOR ALL PERFORMANCES OF THE “ALTROVE” DAY: €15 – REDUCED RATE FOR THOSE PURCHASING AN EXHIBITION TICKET AT FONDAZIONE MERZ (purchased at the Foundation’s ticket office): €10 \nA “NARRAZIONI PARALLELE FOOD & DRINK” AREA WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ENJOY A LATE AFTERNOON AND AN EVENING OF RELAXATION AND CULTURE.

SUMMARY:Cifra Danzateatro: "Dinastia sobrietà" | SEPTEMBER 19TH
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n“ACQUA – LA VOCE DELL’ACQUA\, IL PESO DEL CORPO”\nA journey that begins with a soul in the universe\, like a lost astronaut in contact with planets and stars\, contemplating and playing. This soul is called to a journey into matter\, with its conflicting tones\, its demands\, and its weight.  \nThrough dance\, various metamorphoses take place that transform the emotional body of the performer and of those participating in the ritual. \nThe idea is to move from viewing matter as a burden to seeing it as a possibility for understanding and as a gift. Matter (represented by the clothing)\, rather than being a chimera\, a mere ornament\, or a weight\, is molded to transform itself\, too\, into a new possibility.  \n“DINASTIA SOBRIETÀ” is that place where essence\, the soul\, and inner strength hold the most power; it is an anthem to sobriety\, to perceiving the value of simplicity. Is it possible? What kind of strength do we need to achieve this transformation from chaos to order\, from wound to talent\, from limitation to possibility?   \nby and with Cristina Da Ponte \nADMISSION FOR ALL PERFORMANCES OF THE “ACQUA” DAY: €15 – REDUCED RATE FOR THOSE PURCHASING AN EXHIBITION TICKET AT FONDAZIONE MERZ (purchased at the Foundation’s ticket office): €10 \nA “NARRAZIONI PARALLELE FOOD & DRINK” AREA WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ENJOY A LATE AFTERNOON AND AN EVENING OF RELAXATION AND CULTURE.

A graduate of DAMS in Bologna\, she is among the founders of the Anomalia Teatro company. In 2016\, she debuted with ANTIGONE – monologo per donna sola (Antigone – Monologue for a Woman Alone)\, a show she continues to perform with over a hundred stagings to date; it won the Mauro Rostagno Award for best playwriting and was published by Suigeneris. She curated the dramaturgy for Theo – storia del cane che guardava le stelle (Theo – Story of the Dog Who Looked at the Stars)\, which debuted at the 2019 Turin Fringe Festival. She also wrote and performed Era Meglio nascere topi (Better to Be Born Rats)\, which won best show at the CrashTest Teatro Festival and the Festival di Teatro Patologico (where she also won best actress) and was selected for the “Il cielo sopra Torino” project at the Teatro Stabile di Torino.   \nText by Claudia Lupo \n  \nADMISSION FOR ALL PERFORMANCES OF THE “ACQUA” DAY: €15 – REDUCED RATE FOR THOSE PURCHASING AN EXHIBITION TICKET AT FONDAZIONE MERZ (purchased at the Foundation’s ticket office): €10 \nA “NARRAZIONI PARALLELE FOOD & DRINK” AREA WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ENJOY A LATE AFTERNOON AND AN EVENING OF RELAXATION AND CULTURE.

DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n“How much more must we take from you before someone has the courage to break?” \nThe monologue Lady Macbeth – God save the Queen is a rewriting of the Shakespearean work that\, while playing with the character and a grotesque style\, keeps the power of the tragedy intact. Il punto di vista è unicamente quello della Lady\, crudele e annoiata\, che guarda il mondo con sofferente distacco. \nThe strength of the monologue lies in the dialogue between the classical and the contemporary\, between adherence to the text and its betrayal\, through pop culture references and poetic imagery. \nLady Macbeth calls our morality into question and\, as she dives deeper within herself\, reveals the extreme ferocity of power; she looks us constantly in the eye\, showing us the worst of the world (and of ourselves). \nBy and with Debora Benincasa \nDirection and movement research: Simona Ceccobelli \nSet design: Adele Gamba \nCostumes: Simona Randazzo  \nSound and voices: Martino Scaglia and Flavia Chiacchella \nLighting designer: Andrea Gagliotta \nSINGLE ADMISSION: €10

SUMMARY:Wadi Ensemble: "I Fantasmi di Fenestrelle" | AUGUST 11TH
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\nThere is a legend\, a curious story: it is said that there is a ghost at the Fenestrelle Fort. There are those who swear they have sensed it\, heard it… even seen it. Is it just a trick of the imagination\, triggered by the shadows and shifting spaces of an imposing fortress that was once inhabited by hundreds of men? An unconscious desire to evoke its presence? \nBut who are the “ghosts” that this extraordinary concert-performance evokes? Types of characters\, people who could be found in the fortress at the time: in the Fort or in other similar fortresses. Here then are The Soldiers\, The “Turkish” Prisoner\, The Amorous Knight\, The Philosopher Commander. Between historical suggestions and musical impressions from different eras and different places. \nThe musicians of WADI\, in a decidedly unusual lineup of baritone\, mandolin\, and percussion\, use all the suggestive power of music to rediscover and bring the Fort back to life.The concert\, created specifically for the Narrazioni Parallele Festival and the spaces of the Fenestrelle Fort\, is a continuous flow and evolution of musical and sonic identities designed for active participation by the audience. \nThe Arabic word “wadi” indicates the bed of a river with an irregular hydrogeological layout\, whose fertile land is a promise of rich cultivation\, civilization\, and exchange. The Wadi project ensembles organically bring together musicians from different traditions and languages\, ranging from improvisation to the most rigorous composition. \nSINGLE ADMISSION: €10

SUMMARY:Cristina Donà\, Elena Dak\, Saverio Lanza: "La Musa e l’orizzonte" | AUGUST 10TH
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\nThe horizon is the starting point.It is the line that invites one to wonder and then explore what it hides\, unfolds\, and promises. The journey of exploration on which the spectator is led begins with true or imagined experiences\, opening up ever-new geographical and anthropological scenarios to wander through with all the senses.  \nThe word\, expressed through stage readings and song\, soars on the notes of a soundscape created specifically to lead along the paths of the world. The horizon is the goal to yearn for\, but also the inspiring Muse for the three protagonists\, who\, despite having different alphabets\, know how to find a common language.  \nAn icon of independent music\, Cristina Donà\, an anthropologist\, Elena Dak\, and a composer and musical experimentalist\, Saverio Lanza (winner of the Tenco Prize in 2015 and already collaborator with Bugo\, PGR\, Vasco Rossi\, Piero Pelù\, Biagio Antonacci\, Irene Grandi\, and Stefano Bollani) come together to tell\, through music and words\, what unfolds behind every journey\, beyond the horizon. \nThe long and successful artistic journey that makes Cristina Donà one of the most original voices on the Italian musical scene began in the early nineties. Cristina\, who helped define a new era of Mediterranean-rooted rock\, is one of the few Italian artists capable of “rivaling” the great international colleagues who reinvented the model of the singer-songwriter. Always capable of renewing herself\, Donà first became a point of reference and then an inspiring figure for new generations of Italian musicians.   \nElena Dak\, born Elena Dacome\, is an anthropologist\, Saharan guide\, and writer. Born in Venice in 1970\, she has worked for twenty years as a guide in Africa\, the Middle East\, and Central Asia for various Italian and international operators. She holds a degree in Conservation of Cultural Heritage with an anthropological focus from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\, and a degree in Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences from Bicocca University in Milan. She has held several seminars and lectures at Ca’ Foscari\, Bicocca\, and the Universities of Bologna and Parma\, as well as online conferences and courses in the anthropology of nomadism. For years\, she has been one of the faces of the TV program Overland as an expert in anthropological and cultural insights.     \nSaverio Lanza works in a musical field that straddles the line between experimental music and singer-songwriter traditions\, both as a producer and as an author\, in the studio and live. Among the various artists he has collaborated with are Cristina Donà—with whom he received the Tenco Prize in 2015—PGR (formerly CSI)\, Ginevra Di Marco\, Bugo\, Vasco Rossi\, Piero Pelù\, Biagio Antonacci\, Arisa\, Sarah Jane Morris\, and Irene Grandi & Stefano Bollani. In 2005\, together with his brother\, photographer Marco Lanza\, he founded the PASTIS project\, positioned between photography\, video\, and music\, winning the Ciampi Prize in the “L’altrarte” section and exhibiting works at the Tribeca Cinema in New York.   \nSaverio Lanza : chitarre\, piano\, paesaggi sonori \nElena Dak: narrator\, explorations \nSaverio Lanza: guitars\, piano\, soundscapes \nSINGLE ENTRY: €15

SUMMARY:Les Farfadais: "Envol" | AUGUST 6TH
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\n“Envol”: The world premiere of the new show by one of Europe’s leading contemporary circus companies\, the French troupe Les Farfadais.\nAn interrupted\, incomplete construction site. A passionate but somewhat inexperienced researcher is tasked with uncovering a buried mystery… And so\, a series of fantastic discoveries unfolds; affinities are created\, transforming the site into a dreamlike universe.  \nEnvol is—as the title itself suggests—a show in flight\, a suspended adventure\, an immersion into an enchanted reality populated by magical creatures\, illuminated by mysterious lights\, and vibrating with mysterious sounds: a succession of brilliant and… vertiginous inventions\, the trademark of Les Farfadais. \nAfter more than 150 sold-out performances across Europe between 2023 and 2024 with their previous show “Éveil\,” the brand-new “Envol” makes its absolute European debut in Bardonecchia for the Narrazioni Parallele Festival. \nLes Farfadais are one of the most acclaimed performance companies in the world. They are defined as “the creators of the unreal” because\, through incredible creative\, engineering\, and craftsmanship skills\, they bring their imagination to life—an imagination rich with references to the natural world\, classical mythology\, and the great fantasy and adventure cinema.  \nThe company operates from three headquarters (France\, Spain\, and the USA) and is active across the entire globe. In 2001\, the celebrated French fashion designer Pierre Cardin discovered them\, marking the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration. Cardin designed and created the costumes for the Les Farfadais production of “Tristan and Isolde\,” which was performed worldwide and achieved a remarkable run of 50 shows in Paris alone. \nThey also stand out for staging grandiose shows in some of the most prominent amusement parks in Europe and beyond: from Mirabilandia to Disneyland Paris\, and from Riyadh Season to Bobbejaanland. \nFULL PRICE: €18 – REDUCED (UNDER 12): €7 \nTICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE OR AT THE BARDONECCHIA TOURIST OFFICE

SUMMARY:Dekru: "Virtual reality" | AUGUST 4TH
DESCRIPTION:Buy the ticket\n\nVirtual reality is the highly anticipated second show by the Ukrainian mime quartet Dekru\, produced by Mosaico Errante\, a company dedicated to bringing the art and tradition of popular performance to theaters across Italy and around the world.A show of bodily virtuosity in which the concept of “virtual reality” takes on three intersecting meanings: virtual is the reality of the technological devices we use daily (smartphones and computers first and foremost). But it is also the one created by pantomime\, which manages to make us see things that are not there and is therefore the most suitable form of expression to describe the hyper-connected universe in which we are immersed. Finally\, virtual reality is also the one that each spectator constructs in their own mind\, interpreting what is in front of them in their own way.  \nVirtual reality is a humorous\, evocative and dynamic investigation into the relationship between the physical and the digital and on the influence that modern media has on our lives. A series of scenes\, between the daily and the dreamlike\, which without the use of words\, tools and sets\, manages to perfectly convey the concrete and emotional details of the situations shown thanks to an extraordinary mimetic capacity and a plastic flexibility of bodies that become whatever the imagination of the four artists on stage desires.  \nA show made of stories and “stories”: love and Instagram\, poetry and TikTok. Aided by the public’s imagination\, the stage—while remaining empty—fills with headsets\, mobile phones\, social networks\, but also with crash test dummies that come to life and ambiguous nightclub characters. As if in an interactive game or an analog video game\, the spectators take part in the action by interacting with the artists\, who challenge them to basketball (obviously with an imaginary ball)\, transform them into living statues\, and involve them in their choreography.   \nConsidered the spiritual heirs of Master Marcel Marceau and winners at the Odessa Festival of Clowns and Mimes\, with their universal language these artists have amused and moved hundreds of cities in countries all over the world\, including France\, Germany\, Spain\, Polynesia\, New Caledonia\, Belgium\, the Netherlands\, Poland\, Hungary\, Romania and Switzerland\, as well as             Ukraine and Italy\, where they have performed in prestigious theaters such as the Comunale in Vicenza\, the Apollo in Lecce and the Salieri in Legnago. \nThe ability to treat great themes with lightness and the group’s irresistible empathy has allowed Dekru to also win over the vast audiences of TV programs such as Ukraine’s Got Talent and Tu sí que vales Italy. The quartet was chosen to perform during Pope Francis’ Audience for the Jubilee of Popular Entertainment and as the protagonist of the Gran Gala du Cirque\, a show that brings together the best international circus performers in a single great evening.  \nFULL PRICE: €12 – REDUCED (UNDER 12): €7 \nTICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE OR AT THE BARDONECCHIA TOURIST OFFICE
