Teatro dei luoghi international festival 2024
XVIII Edition
No Land in sight
The city is an eternal show that is reborn every day. From the suburbs to the center teeming with life, the streets resonate with voices, horns and hurried footsteps, a perpetual music that tells the daily hustle and the beauty hidden in the little things.
Isolated wisps of green, stubborn as the hope that clings to life, peep through the cracks in the tender white stone or through the cracks in the asphalt.
Every day, modern pilgrims walk the roads, looking for answers in the fleeting smiles, in the lowered window of a car, in the shadows that appear and disappear. Twisted alleys, ancient monuments or factories, cities are labyrinths of emotions in which it is easy to get lost.
No land in sight is the inner feeling of a lack of orientation, a search for safe harbor and a sense of belonging, because at times, intimate spaces and authentic ties are missing.
Teatro dei Luoghi is a mosaic of stories, a refuge for dreamers and wayfarers that connects the city to the soul. This is what culture is for, to reflect on the human condition, on the sense of loss; theater brings us in the city, looking for possible meaning in a complex and often incomprehensible world.
But no melancholy, for art is the inherent beauty of this endless journey, a recognition of human resilience in the face of uncertainty.

TRANSVERSE DRIFT
In the spoken poetry of the shepherd poets, tuned to the sound of wind or animal verse, past history is transmitted. Their song is an attempt to decipher the invisible, a descent into the self, a geography of the supernatural.
