18.00 Alberto Geatti – You’ve never been mine, you just sat side by side

Illustrations and poems by Alberto Geatti – introduces Andrea Ioime

… Tiziana: she would have been before our eyes in the words and drawings of Alberto, and it is still today for anyone who meets him and his compositions. It was in fact creativity that gave shape to his feeling and our path, without knowing that the point of arrival would have been this book … The time of sorrow is a painful and complex time; even if it can be a great opportunity: confrontation with oneself and own’s emotions, but also of evolution and change. It is a hidden time … Transformation, evolution, possibility and creativity in art as in life, even through a time of dramatic pain, seem to explode in the drawing on the back cover: a blackboard with a white paper. There is always a page to write in life.

For almost twenty years, the Carantans have been researching and reproducing the Friulian musical heritage from the 16th century to the most recent times, also encroaching on the traditional repertoire of Northern Italy and Istria. An evolution of folk that is not easy to wander in multi-ethnicity or easy contamination, but a harmonious research of space and suggestions, also witnessed by the new record, which will be presented at Folkest.
