With his experimental combination of Synths, Didjeridoo, Percussion, Hang, Beatboxing and a Loop Station, Riccardo Moretti’s solo project ‘TribalNeed’ is at the forefront of progressive musicianship. Sharp melodies, melancholic sounds and ancient rhythms tell the story of the ‘Electro Nomad’ and his journey between the European Electro scene and Afro-Australian tribal grooves. This mix of organic instruments and circuit bent toys manifests an original approach to electronic music. 

The theatre group, Nouvelle Lune was founded in Carrara at the ‘Accademia di Belle Arti’, the young arists that make up the group have both personal and professional experience in many forms of acting, sculpture, illustration, mime, puppet theatre, musical and pedagogy.  Experience that has taken them to confront themselves with the reality of theatre and performance at international level, and also in unconventional surroundings both human and educational. These diverse experiences have combined naturally to create a project that unites the art of mime with juggling, that of street and mask theatre.    

Murga is a form of popular musical theatre performed in Uruguay and in Argentina during the Carnival season. Murga groups operate in Montevideo and at the Buenos Aires Carnival, though to a lesser extent than in Montevideo; the Argentine murga is more centred on dancing and less on vocals than the Uruguayan one. Uruguayan murga has a counterpart in Cadiz, Spain from which it is derived, the chirigota, but over time the two have diverged into distinct forms. 

The SOCIAL THEATRE SHOW is a performance that arises from the need to openly communicate the thoughts of a new generation of active citizens who declare themselves ready to take charge of leading society towards a possible change, possible in the sense of worldwide, multilateral and sustainable. 

KALARPPAYATTU is the oldest Indian martial art. Its technique consists of complex motions, which give special importance to the rapid movement of legs, knees and arms, and the strength of the hands and eyes.

Masters: Ajith Kumar and Pramod Baskeren - Kerala (India)
