The Themes of the Festival's 4 Evenings

UNDER THE SAME MOON – THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2021

The moon, as a symbol of the Great Mother, an expression of a sensitivity free from constraints and stereotypes, is the common thread for understanding the different facets of a multifaceted femininity. This femininity leaves recognizable traces in any narrative context, breaking free from gender stereotypes.
Antonella Gregorio, Claudia Caredda, and Patrizia Viglino, three writers exploring emotional territories, mix intimate confessions, ancestral memories, extraordinary encounters, and generational journeys, through a personal vision that transcends the linearity of a world increasingly distant from the purity of the heart.

THE SEASONS OF THE SOUL – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, 2021

Bringing existential marginality back into a system that fears its consequences, reaffirming the freedom of one’s instinct to protect oneself from the overpowering force of conventions, overcoming the suffering of the human condition to reveal its most hidden folds.
The encounter with Giorgio Binnella, Luca Pakarov, and Pierpaolo Capovilla represents a dive into the inner world of every human being, far beyond prejudice and tradition, like a path of words that redefines life outside of habits, chasing the scars of the soul.

THE FUTURE BEGINS YESTERDAY – SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH, 2021

The DNA of the web economy and the economic models of the late 20th century, the multiplicity of temporal dimensions hidden within the uniqueness of an ancestral intelligence—three thematic strands in balance between the recent past and the near future. Gianluca Dettori, president of Vcb Hub, alongside Nicola Grauso and Renato Soru, explores the origins and identity of new digital frontiers. Economist Nino Galloni reinterprets financial policies from the late 20th century to new forms of credit. Astrophysicist Giuliana Conforto, a scholar of the interconnection between individual freedom and collective harmony, outlines the potential for a collective brain awakening.

40 YEARS… AND STILL GOING STRONG – SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21st, 2021

A journey of forty years through the dynamics, pathways, and protagonists of the island’s independent music scene, from 1980 to the present.
The origins of urban music scenes, the relationship with the territory and institutions, the successes and key players in a revolution that was not so silent.
Riccardo Frau, Claudio Loi, Andrea Murgia, Francesco Peddoni, and Giacomo Serreli tell the story of an alternative model to the major national music industry, born from a generational awakening that is still ongoing.
