Description
The opening weekend will be held on 23 and 24 May at 6pm.
What if the festival wasn't an escape, but rather a moment of intense, cathartic awareness, creating committed situations that reclaim the present, the right to the city and the right to speak?
More than a 'means of revolution', it is a detonator and a laboratory for social change. Through the meeting of these intoxicated spirits and this stolen moment on the popular stage, the festival defies authority and creates breaches where transgression, hope, love and connection are invented. Nimu Dormi explores these forms of occupation, born of the action of a people on the watch. Unfolding freely in the manner of an opera - Overture, Prelude, Acts and Triumph - Nimu Dormi orchestrates a progression in which images, gestures and sounds compose a score.
The event will be staged in 5 venues at the heart of the city's historic heritage:
- The Agora
- La Cisterna
- The Palazzu
- The Impluvium
- The French Barracks
It brings together 12 international artists and 6 local artists and collectives.
They include Adel Abdessemed, Vanessa Beecroft, Philippe Caamano, Puma Camillê, Niki Danai Chania, Alex Foxton, Ghjuvan Petrugraziani, Rinatu Coti, Mark Leckey, Mode 2, David Noonan, Nkisi, Tony Regazzoni, Anrisala, as well as Nadya Tolokonnikova and the Pussy Riot collective.
