Rachele Colombo and Mario Viel will guide visitors inside the Museum of Dolomite Masks of Gianluigi Secco, using the style of storytellers, singing live acoustically the pieces from "Miti InCanto" that will describe the dolomite masks displayed in the museum halls.
This will be a special way to discover the dolomite rituals with a completely alternative guided tour.
"Miti InCanto: myths of the Venetian tradition in the European context" is the culmination of a long research project conducted by Gianluigi Secco over more than forty years of activity, not only by consulting texts and archives but also by immersing himself completely in the customs and traditions of the "gens veneta," which he has documented in a grand archive of materials including photos, videos, sound recordings, and texts.
From this archive and his direct experience, he has extensively drawn for this latest work that retraces the myths and rituals of the peasant tradition, reconnecting them to similar myths and rituals of other European cultures: thus, he has highlighted how all descend from the same matrix, the natural religion, responding to common needs, disseminated in similar ways on a continental scale.
The text, published by the Soraimar Association and the Belumat Cultural Group, is accompanied by drawings by Vico Calabrò and 4 CDs, with 64 songs in the Venetian dialect written by the same author, featuring music and vocal performances by the major Venetian and Veneto-Lusitan popular singer-songwriters.
In particular, Gualtiero Bertelli, Ivano Battiston, Attilio Boccalon, Erica Boschiero, Giuseppina Casarin, Alberto Cendron, Rachele Colombo, Chiara Crepaldi, Ivo Gasparin, and Valmor Marasca (the latter two are Italo-Brazilian), Leo Miglioranza, Simone Nogarin, Augusto Prosdocimo, Gianmaria Sberze, Gianni Stefani, Ub Band, Mario Viel, and Luciano Zanonato will perform.
Three groups of 15 people each are expected, with entry at 4:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.
Reservation is required at segreteria@borgopiaveetc.it.
