• Dekru: “Virtual reality” | AUGUST 4TH

    Palazzo delle Feste Bardonecchia Piazza Valle Stretta, 1, Bardonecchia, Italy

    Virtual Reality is a humorous, evocative, and dynamic exploration of the relationship between the physical and the digital, and the influence that modern media has on our lives. Through a series of scenes ranging from the everyday to the dreamlike—and without the use of words, props, or sets—it perfectly captures the concrete and emotional details of each situation. This is achieved through extraordinary mimetic skill and the plastic flexibility of the four performers on stage, whose bodies transform into whatever their imagination desires.

  • Les Farfadais: “Envol” | AUGUST 5TH

    Palazzo delle Feste Bardonecchia Piazza Valle Stretta, 1, Bardonecchia, Italy

    Envol 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.

  • Cristina Donà, Elena Dak, Saverio Lanza: “La Musa e l’orizzonte” | AUGUST 10TH

    Forte di Fenestrelle Via del Forte 1, Fenestrelle (TO), Italy

    An 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.

  • Wadi Ensemble: “I Fantasmi di Fenestrelle” | AUGUST 11TH

    Forte di Fenestrelle Via del Forte 1, Fenestrelle (TO), Italy

    There 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? 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 the audience's active participation.

  • Anomalia Teatro: “Lady Macbeth – God save the Queen” | AUGUST 12TH

    Forte di Fenestrelle Via del Forte 1, Fenestrelle (TO), Italy

    The 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. The point of view is exclusively that of the Lady—cruel and bored—who looks upon the world with a pained detachment.

  • Les Farfadais e Debora Benincasa: “Élégie à l’Eau” | SEPTEMBER 19TH

    Fondazione Merz Via Limone 24, Torino, Italy

    "Why forget the power of water and the interdependence of fragments?"

    An incredible performance on and in the water, dedicated to the fundamental element of life and created specifically for the Festival. Words, gestures, and music immerse themselves (in the literal sense of the term) in the liquid element, becoming one; they remind us in a vibrant elegy of how strong the power of water is and how fragile the balance we risk breaking truly is.
