Lithéa - L'arte della pietra, del corpo e della voce

This year Longarone has decided to bring great culture to its oldest village, Castellavazzo, proposing "Lithéa - The Art of Stone, Body, and Voice."

As if there were a muse, Lithéa, guiding hands, gazes, voices, bodies, the art of extraction and processing of stone will merge with the performing arts.

The first opportunity to visit us is Saturday, July 11, when Piazza Fontana in Castellavazzo will become the open-air stage for "Lu Santo jullare Francesco", a show by Dario Fo, staged by Mario Pirovano. The occasion is twofold: the 100th anniversary of Dario Fo's birth and the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis' death. "It is a great honor for us to be included in the calendar of the official celebrations of the Centenary of Dario Fo, organized by the Fo Rame Foundation - states Councilor for Culture Anna Olivier - A unique opportunity to listen to a memorable work on the life of Saint Francis, written by the Nobel Prize winner for Literature 1997. An unprecedented portrait that Fo paints of the most extraordinary innovator of Christian thought, addressing the great themes that run through contemporary society." 

Sunday, July 12, will instead feature "Alétheia", a workshop with a duo of artists: the Belluno soprano Chiara Isotton and American actor Patick Cann.
A little less than a year after the awarding of the International Prize Bellunesi which honors the province in Italy and in the World to the soprano, we decided to offer singing and acting enthusiasts the opportunity to experience a day of work with international professionals.
The day will develop into a 360° workshop on voice and body, starting with texts selected for the occasion. It will be a different experience, unique in its kind, to bring enthusiasts closer to work on voice and body that explores different techniques and particular fusions.

At the end of the day there will be a performance for the audience.
