holidays, equipment and spectacular medieval
E 'this the title of the XIX edition of the Medieval Festival of Cassine new thread that will have the theme of the festivities and spectacle of the Middle Ages.
A moment of encounter with the story I heard over the years has become tradition, the medieval festival of Cassine has also been included in the catalog that the Piedmont Region has dedicated to the reenactment of the historic Piedmont. To pg. 76-77 of the booklet you can find the update of the 2009 along with images and commentary of one of the most prestigious pageants in our region.
What were the moments devoted to parties, such occasions? You can talk about a spectacular and there was a religious vision irreverent and otherwise?
The 2009 edition will attempt to answer these questions by creating a path that will wind through the streets of the village of Monte Cassino, making the streets, squares, interesting corners, courtyards, streets, open space, buildings and monuments.
So here in this elaborate process we will put the individual theatrical moments, identifying specific locations based on the spectacular value.
This will be made possible through the collaboration of the Ark non-profit group that, through the revision of the text by Jean Verdon, "Parties and games in the Middle Ages" will reconstruct in detail the atmosphere of the dark ages trying to evoke in the viewer "Modern" the magical wonder that the public felt then.
Phase of historical background and explanation of the great dramatic device - to be held in the ancient church of San Francesco - take on the characteristics and the communication system responsive to the theater, using "interactive" projections, testimonials, actors , musicians and set out: we are all aiming to begin a difficult but exciting virtual transfer (but not too much) to ancient times. Building, customs, environment, atmosphere, ideas, tunes and gestures, will guide the audience in this process of regression of time lasting about 80 minutes to prepare people alla meravigliosa impressione che avranno all’uscita dalla chiesa, allorquando scopriranno che in tutto l’ambiente circostante avrà preso vita una sorprendente atmosfera mai vissuta. “Insomma il pubblico dovrà avere la netta impressione di vivere un momento di grande emozione fuori dal tempo- ha detto Mauro Conte, organizzatore dell’Arca Grup di Cassine- in una magica dimensione di ritorno al Medioevo per percepirne le atmosfere più autentiche, rievocate attraverso un processo storico e letterario filologicamente corretto”.
Ci sarà l’imbarazzo della scelta e i visitatori avranno la possibilità di percorrere il percorso a loro piu’ congeniale. Già dalle prime ore del sabato ognuno potrà choose, for the span of two days, the way of spectacle: the sacred representations and burlesque aspects, the large representation of the Garden of Delights or recurrence of a jousting tournament, the frenetic dance or the entry of the luxury Protocol king and his court, the official host apparatus or the extraordinary humanity of the market areas. Each item is placed in its own space consistently represented to the theme and logistics for reference.
"We still wanted to emphasize and expand the square and the spectacular nature of competition as far as jousting tournament, said Gianfranco Cuttica of Revigliasco, patron of the event - even because that element was deeply rooted in the common identity of the medieval festival. In a single, living the aristocratic classes in competition with the popular element devoted to admire the skills of dexterity of the riders, their messages of love to the ladies in one of the most fascinating scenic frames of the Middle Ages.
However to do this it was necessary to turn to the highest expressions day professional field, not just the ability to handle the horses but also for the accuracy of the decorative charm el'indubbio: trappings, helmets, tents, spears, Lizzie. In this direction, in the wake of last year, we are going to rebuild a true and his golf tournament, with boxes, banners, shields, and fences in a corner on the extremely charming and scenic landscape plan of the Village, right in the back to the medieval church of San Francesco, with the collaboration experience with the group Espadrones Tostabur from Bratislava.
knowledge and direct contact with the East - the Middle Ages lived in both positive and conflict - has led us to address system is also linked to experience spectacular equestrian Qazaq of the people, an ethnic group of origin Turkish Central Asia, as a moment of confrontation between the West and the expression of the tournament experience codified più istintiva di estrazione orientale, mettendo soprattutto in luce di questi ultimi la loro fierezza ed orgoglio e le loro doti nell'addestrare e cavalcare i cavalli e nell'addomesticare le aquile”.
