Orestiadi n°44
Today, the Festival, in this Festival of Contemporary Arts that will live the territory, will tell its public about itself, drawing an initial balance and looking to the future.
Some previews of our festival:
27 and 28 June Festival Preview -
Gibellina Città Teatro: a long night of the contemporary, in which the city of Gibellina will be staged, through its symbolic places. The works of urban art will live in an original itinerary of unprecedented performances between art, music and theatre.
Il racconto dell'arte, l'arte si racconta: at Baglio Di Stefano to narrate the inseparable relationship that the languages of contemporaneity have experienced in Gibellina in recent years, in particular the dialogue between theatre and the visual arts, which has always been the matrix of our Festival.
The centenary of Andrea Camilleri: a unique and unrepeatable event at the Cretto di Burri to remember Andrea Camilleri, one hundred years after his birth, through his precious writing, thanks to the artists who continue to keep it alive.
The Oresteia a rewriting: in 1981, to celebrate the re-founding of the city and mark the dawn of a destiny all to be rewritten, on the ruins of the destroyed Gibellina, a new Troy and imaginary Palace of the Atrides, Ludovico Corrao re-proposed the play of the Oresteia in the ‘poetic Sicilian’ conceived by Emilio Isgrò: a vigorous message of cultural rebirth for all peoples threatened by the earthquakes of history and the no less powerful earthquakes of civilisation wrought by war.
In recent years, many rewritings have taken place in Gibellina, but today we envisage a special project that will place the Cretto and the Oresteia in a unique creative dialogue, an artistic production that will address the theme of the contemporary rewriting of the Oresteia in several forms and thanks to the contribution of several artists.
