There is a way to forget time: to use it”, wrote Baudelaire. And in Sermoneta, near Latina, they don't want to forget anything. So they took five months of time – in fact – to prepare a festival entirely dedicated to time. To the rhythms of a sustainable, non-neurotic, low-stress life, compatible with the universal principles for a better world. It is the first appointment of its kind in Italy, so there is curiosity. An event dedicated to good living, art, environmental and territorial sustainability, from 6 to 12 July next. The organization is by the ONLUS Center of Art and Culture of Sermoneta together with the start up Deal Art Platform. The neighboring territories are involved, to relive a story that starts from 1200, fueled by movements, transits, characters, works of art.
Time has not punished the memory of these places, which today have become economic and cultural excellences. In July, the weather will also take on the perception of the past and the future. Because you also have to know how to beat time, like you do in music. All the better if it is harmonious, at peace with nature, beauty and tranquillity.Will giorni of inartistic installations, words, images,shows . In an era of smartphones without respite, of communication anxieties and challenges to success, the festival wants to attract everyone. A collective and liberating happening that goes beyond the scientific aspects of chronological time. Precisely for this reason, the program aims to attract students of all levels, scholars, company representatives, ordinary citizens. Will they be able to stay together giving vent to creativity? Five months earlier the promoters spread confidence. Everyone lives “ITime and space as memory and as future, part of the past, but they work to build an ethical and sustainable world today". Could goals on a different quality of life have been overlooked in such an ambitious appointment? Il Festival del Tempo joins , At that time, the 2030 Agenda and the 17 ON objectivesU . By digging, they have chosen decent work and economic growth, innovation, sustainable cities and communities. Things that in the province of Latina, at least, can work. A cultural challenge, without a doubt, which aims to rediscover an essential value of human existence.
La artistic direction by Roberta Melase and patronage of the Municipality of Sermoneta have thought about three Sections : The Word – word and world; The Image and the Body – jump in time; The Movement – over the future.
“Every personal and collective story is shaped by signals and trails that unfold in a constantly evolving present” says Melasecca. He is right. Time as a veil over desires, shadows, sometimes even ugly reality images. You can't stop time. If we use it properly, with culture, words, tolerance, respect for what surrounds us, in the end we will have agreed with Baudelaire. And not only.
