Sentinelle di pietra

Trentino's rich cultural offer is back, animating the forts with the Sentinelle Di Pietra (Stone Sentinels) event, an initiative promoted by the Department of Education, Culture and Sport, Family, Youth and Equal Opportunities Policies of the Autonomous Province of Trento - Cultural Activities and Production Service -, in collaboration with the Fondazione Museo Storico del Trentino and the S. Chiara Cultural Services Centre of Trento. A unique opportunity to discover or re-discover the history of the individual fortifications and places that were the theatre of the Great War. This is a rich calendar of events consisting of no less than six shows, with free admission, put on by companies and artists from the Trentino area who will alternate along the forts of Trentino. An itinerary with free admission, between history and memory with music, theatre and readings for all kinds of audiences, realised by companies and artists from the territory.

05 October at 14.00 Fort Campo - Luserna

Two Stories - Blown Theatres -> REGISTER HERE

Two points of view on the same event, two stories that meet and brush against each other. Two souls poised between memories and feelings. A woman and a man recount the desire for love and their inner conflict, the importance of choices, the desire for peace. A single drawing drawn on the border line, before and after the Great War. Two diaries are the witnesses of the two stories that make up the plot of the performance. A pretext to tell the female and male stories of the same event, two pages written inside the great book of the First World War. The dramaturgical operation takes its cue from multiple historical memories, from the diaries of the soldiers and the correspondence between the front and the civilian population, life in the villages and life within the walls of the military fortifications. The scene is experienced through the narration and interpretation of poetic actions and is surrounded by sounds and music that envelop and transport one back in time. A close dialogue with the spectators to trigger the fuse of emotions, a game to unravel the many pieces of the tale, amid suspense, theatrical coups and the disruptive power of words.

*Il Forte è raggiungibile con un’escursione di circa un’ora lungo il Sentiero Dalle Storie alla Storia che parte dal centro di Luserna o da Malga Millegrobbe e seguendo le indicazioni per il Forte Werk Lusérn/Forte Campo

Sunday, October 6, 15:00 Forte Sommo Alto - Folgaria

The ladies of the peaks - Compagnia Rifiuti Speciali with the S. Ilario Choir - > REGISTER HERE

Le signore delle cime: storie di alpiniste e delle loro imprese is a theatrical reading immersed in sound suggestions performed live by the S. Ilario Choir with a repertoire dedicated to the mountain music tradition. A story that pays tribute to the history of six women protagonists of great adventures and ‘opens a way’ to the dissemination of the contribution that they all made to national and world mountaineering. Women who challenged not only the mountain but a mountain culture that saw them relegated to secondary roles, gaining over time prominent positions, conquering peaks and attacking walls: Henriette d'Angeville, Gertrude Bell, Mary Varale, Nini Pietrasanta, Renata Rossi and Serena Fait.

*The Fortress can be reached by an easy walk of about 40 minutes starting from the Passo Sommo car park or from Passo Coe

A unique opportunity to discover or re-discover the history of individual fortifications and theatre sites of the Great War.

Free admission. To participate in the events, reservations are appreciated.
