THE PROJECT


"The journey has had innumerable meanings in the history of humanity. Writers, poets, businessmen and science have addressed the theme of the "journey". The motivations that drive the journey are many: you travel to know new and unknown places, for necessity looking for work, you migrate from one country to another to escape wars and devastation or to give yourself a job / professional and economic opportunity; one travels on a pilgrimage to a place of faith or simply to learn about other cultures and build new personal relationships ».


From this idea comes the Menevavo festival, which will be held in the municipality of Futani (SA) from September 2018 to March 2019.


Ten events sorted in ten locations of socio-cultural interest in the municipal territory of Futani. The places are those characterized by history and traditions where the traveler can immerse himself in the lives of the citizens who live there. An itinerant event, a journey in the journey, where musical performances, theatrical performances, excursions, guided tours, food and wine workshops and artistic crafts, exhibitions, book presentations and thematic conferences will alternate.


The leitmotif that connects events to each other is the theme of the journey that goes "From the settlement of Italian-Greek monks to contemporary depopulation" analyzed through the story of three different stories that, combined, recreate the essence of Futani.


"The experience of travel always determines a change in the individual, allows you to meet people from different cultures and stories with whom to talk, exchange opinions, tends to trigger openness to the world, telling their own story and listening to others. Analyzing and enhancing the stories related to the "journey", through the experiences lived by those who have been before us and that is part of our history, analyzing the migrations of yesterday, our ancestors, can help to understand a historical phenomenon and complex like that of current migrations. Through the project "MENEVAVO festival" we want to revive places and stories of those who, in times past, through the journey has contributed to enrich our cultural baggage ".
