The next edition of this renowned festival has an exciting programme of multivision screenings, installations and a concert with projections!
Luce Dipinta and Alex Rowbotham are working together with Francesco Lopergolo to create a new piece of work to be projected, on four evenings of the festival, directly on to the Reata Tower of the castle in Asolo.
"Asolo e le sue donne":
"Ladies of Asolo". The beauty of art, the magic of the landscape, the ideal refuge for the body and the soul, attracted many famous people to Asolo, in different times, who loved it and lived in it.
Of these, there were three women; Caterina Cornaro, Eleonora Duse and Freya Stark, who were unconnected by time but deeply tied to this town. Travellers, enterprising, nonconformist and intellectuals of international fame that contributed to elect the image of Asolo as a place ideal for its beauty and its high quality.
Caterina Cornaro, ex queen of Cyprus, exiled to Asolo in 1489, was able to create a castle, that still bares her name, a beautiful Renaissance court. Eleonora Duse, divine of the international theatre, used to come to relax in Asolo from the hard work of the stage, and also, chose Asolo as her final resting place. Freya Stark, explorer, writer and photographer, felt privileged to set Asolo as her goal of returning from her journeys and she too is buried here, in the cemetery of S.Anna.
The extraordinary story of these three women will be explored by Alex Rowbotham, a British artist specialized in digital projections on buildings.
