Documentation of the collective community-building performance.
June 2nd 2022, Habitat
Recipe used for this community-bulding experiment:
- Being together;
- Gathering in a symbolic spot that has been declared as such in an unspoken agreement;
- Use the formula of Binomio Fantastico (Fantastic Combination, from Italian theorist and novelist Gianni Rodari) to generate a new narrative: take two unusual elements that could be objects, sensations, real or fake characters etc... in order to trigger an imaginative short circuit;
- In our case are a legend (of the horse in the Piana) and a fictitious character (the warrior of the Piana);
- This creates a dramaturgy that can be the leitmotiv of the collective moment. It's another unspoken agreement that create a Magic Circle (Huizinga, Homo Ludens, 1938);
- Even if the moment is performed in this Magic Circle, it's possible to state that a built legend/myth can be brought outside the Magic Circle;
- Using a media, in our case an analog radio transmission, as an emanative entity: the function is a magic one, playing (and agreeing) on the mystery of the source;
- Agree on (Concertare) a narrative that narrates the ecosystem (the physical spot around our cottages, the metaphysical assets attributed from us, us as characters, us as individuals...)
The concert is not just an orchestra of musicians playing songs, but also an agreement to carry out a common action between several people: the community of the Tramazzo Valley concerts to tell its own history, distant and recent, but also future.
The heart of the concert will be a radio broadcast, broadcast from the Piana del Cavallo, near Ca 'de Monti. There will be characters that come from the mythology of the Community: a mythology that must be created slowly, which has its roots in the local tradition and will evolve in dialogue together.
Come and tell us your stories, recite poems, make wishes, imagine things that don't exist yet! Bring with you
photographs, poems, diaries, recipes and stories to tell about Tredozio, the nearby valleys, and its characters… Let's refresh your memory together!
A convivial moment can only end with a shared meal: panzerotti for everyone
Disclaimer: all the poetry lost itself in the translation from italian to english.
