Kilowatt Festival 2016: Teatro, danza e musica a Sansepolcro
The Kilowatt Festival, taking place in Sansepolcro from July 15 to 23, 2016, features the theme 'è tempo di risplendere,' inspired by Amelia Rosselli. Luca Ricci, the artistic director, highlights the importance of meaningful dialogue. The event showcases collaborations with international artists and local participants known as the Visionari, who have chosen nine performances that won the Premio Ubu in 2010. Notable acts include 'Bello mondo' by Mariangela Gualtieri, a project by Davide Iodice for underprivileged individuals, 'Venus' and 'Mars' by Nicola Galli, 'Season' by Giorgia Nardin, and 'I quattro moschettieri in America' by I Sacchi di Sabbia. Other highlights are Piergiorgio Odifreddi's reading of Lucretius, Tiromancino's performance, Oscar De Summa’s 'La sorella di Gesucristo', Sotterraneo's interactive 'Il giro del mondo in 80 giorni', and Angela Dematté's 'Mad in Europe'. Saverio Verini curates Kilow’Art.
