Nostoi (The Returns): IV edition of Nomadic Art Festival

Nostoi (the return) is the fourth edition of nomadic art festival: it opens a new cycle of returns, after the closing of the first cycle of exils and birthings. The edition explores the concept of returns in the sense of a searching for the real home; an intimate and childood home that is lost forever and that comes back only as an image or as music. The edition indeed explores the "refrain" as a rythm marker that creates familiarisation effect in the rootlesness. The edition explores the return in a formal way: every street is a path or an episode of an "outdoor serie-tv", in wich every episode is a tale told by a different one, as a way to let everyone of the participants to feel at home, curating with its own imagination a big story that is told ensemble.
