the first European festival on creativity

2015 Programme

Event #5

Francesca Ajmar, Tito Mangialajo Rantzer, Alessandro Sanna

A slow story

The event has been moved from Chiostro di San Francesco to Canale Lunense

 

Three artists come together and draw inspiration from one another to bring to life a highly impacting and emotional music and art performance. Drawn by Alessandro Sanna in a magically expressive live action painting session, suspended images take shape and meld naturally with the warm, intense voice of Francesca Ajmar, and the rhythmic music of Tito Mangialajo Rantzer, who delve into a repertoire that transitions freely from jazz to Brasilian folk music. Images, colours and sound form an original and extremely beautiful narrative, leading the audience to the roots of creativity at its purest.
