Frankie Hi Nrg, Carotone and Arminio guests of "If a night in Irpinia...."

The itinerary of the traveling festival "If a night in Irpinia a traveller", inspired by the infinite work of Italo Calvino, continues with three last unmissable events.

Three new chapters that open in three places of great charm, to be discovered not only through music but also trekking, poetic actions, immersive experiences, tastings.

The program:

In a network of lines that interconnect – 27 December, Aiello del Sabato

FRANKIE HI-NRG MC will fill the spaces of Villa Preziosi, with his DJ SET show: a selection of  rap/hip hop  and electronic music for a set that ranges from famous hits, hidden treasures of the underground and LIVE interpretation of some of his greatest hits.
Resident of the evening FoRLai, producer and sound designer, beatmaker from Avellino, on the console from 7pm to guide us on his personal musical journey.

Without fearing the wind and vertigo – 28 December, Forino

With Unplugged Experience, Tonino Carotone arrives in Irpinia and, in the area of ​​the Forino Town Hall, he will return to sing his most famous pieces and some songs from his legend Fred Buscaglione, accompanied by a trio of trusted musicians, who, with acoustic guitar, trumpet , bass, banjo and percussion will make us experience the difficult world and intense life told by the artist in his first success, Me Cago En El Amor.
From the world to the province, the post-concert will play with the World Music of Frontiere Antimusicali: a project by Adolf Annecchiarico and Valter Vivarelli marked by fun, groove and the desire to dance.

Look down where the shadow thickens – December 29, Montefalcione

The verses of the writer and poet Franco Arminio will resonate within the Confraternity of the Good Death, accompanied by the music of the most surreal duo on this earth, Livio&Manfredi. Words to cross, to listen to and visit in a happy and thoughtful ceremony, a moment of community expanded on the trail of an entirely human map.
To open the show, the notes of Luis Di Gennaro that run quickly on the piano keys, in another emotional, visionary, magical itinerary, between improvisations, jazz and songs by the author.
The Kanaka Studio Experience is also staged in the Aiello del Sabato and Forino stages: an immersive experiment between light and shadow, between the visible and the invisible through the folds of hidden and beautiful places.

Likewise, the urban treks organized by Vito Rago for Cammini d'Irpinia will take us on a walk to discover the most secret corners of the three municipalities involved:

Aiello del Sabato

Appointment at 3pm at the Cielo Azzurro Bar.
Excursion to the village, with a visit to the Scout base.
End of the excursion at 6.30pm.

Forino
Appointment at 3pm at the Villa Comunale.
Excursion to the historic center, with a visit to the ghost village of Celsi.
End of the excursion at 6.30pm.

Montefalcione
Appointment at 3pm at Bar Italia.
Excursion in the village and among the roads interposed in the middle of the vineyards.
End of the excursion at 6.30pm.

And the Calvinian journey continues together with Ilaria Scarano and her "Defective Books": a collective poetic-narrative action that will open the doors of temporarily empty houses for us to listen to them and be inspired. A participatory art project that pays homage to the work "If on a winter's night a traveller": in the seventh chapter the Reader Ludmilla, much desired by the Reader, invites him to her home for the first time, but she cannot be found and so he stays there waiting. While waiting, the Reader enters to browse the rooms, trying to reconstruct the woman's life and read it through the objects that are part of her daily life. The participants, accompanied by the curator to the chosen places, will be invited to stay there for some time to imagine and write until someone or something arrives. The houses, during the brief absence of those who live in them, with their objects and their history will speak to those who want and know how to listen to them. Intimate relationships, connections between people and places will be born. Listening, reading and handwriting will lead to the writing and publication of defective books. Erasures, torn sheets, ink stains will remain among the pages of defective books: as simple as the action that generated them is simple.

Each stage of this artistic and cultural itinerary will be to be discovered and known: the excellences will intersect with each other in a journey of narrated tastings that will move from municipality to municipality, with an itinerant formula, through moments of exchange of products and stories that come from the territory, helping to create cooperation and dissemination of ancient knowledge and flavors between the countries involved.

Period of implementation June 2023 - May 2024" based on the POC Campania funds 2014-2020, strategic line "Urban regeneration, tourism and culture policies".
