Veneto Spettacoli di mistero:filò della memoria sovramontina

 Filò have always represented, for the people of the mountains, places of meeting, sharing, and socialization. They were moments of confrontation between different generations, during which friendships and good neighborly ties were strengthened.

In the winter filò, by the warmth provided by the animals in the barn, the fruits of the land were worked, wool was spun, and the dowry for the brides and grooms was prepared. Tools necessary for working in the fields during the good season were built or repaired.

Often, among the young, to the sound of an accordion and during the dances, infatuations would arise. In the filò, the elders were always present: they represented the collective historical memory and, before going to bed, would tell children stories and legends of the place. Some of these were mysterious and left the children utterly astonished.

The evening will be introduced by the music and folk dances of the Gruppo Folk di Cesiomaggiore. A short film lasting about 45 minutes, dedicated to the filò of the mountain areas, will then be screened. In particular, seven scenes have been recorded, each telling a small story related to the local tradition.

The evening will conclude with more music and folk dances inspired by the filò, also performed by the Gruppo Folk di Cesiomaggiore.

A free refreshment will follow for all participants.
