1979: story of music, crimes and mysteries
This is the story of the year 1979. A story of songs and blood, of conspiracies and discos, of lies and revelations. But above all it is the story of little Giuseppe. That will never get old. The story is a tight intertwining of words and notes, which knows no mediation. A form of public confession without stage fiction, where everyone is what they are.
A storyteller.
A musician.
A singer.
Un dee-jay.
Theatrical show written and narrated by Gery Palazzotto, set to music by Fabio Lannino with Laura Sfilio, remixed by Mario Caminita.
Ore 18:00
Location: Massimo Accascina natural amphitheater of Monte Mufara

Theatrical show of I Sonnambuli: “The sons of Tro*a”: Iliad, Odyssey and other myths that scratch
Some are objectively very funny, others leave a mark on you that remains, which becomes a scar.
Because that was the aim of Homer and all the other singers of antiquity: through mythology to educate about life, to teach a certain way of being in the world, both heroic and grotesque. Surrounded by a forest on the top of a mountain, for one night we will get closer to the gods of Olympus.
Narrators: Fabio Manenti, Michele Arezzo.
Location: Rifugio Marini
August 15th
Mid-August at Rifugio Marini: Fixed menu or Grill and Music with Pacha Kama
Traditional mid-August lunch at the refuge with Madonie specialties and live music. Through an engaging repertoire that takes the best of every South American musical tradition, Pacha Kama is a metaphor for Pachacàmac, who moves and vivifies the Earth (the body) through music. Argentine, Peruvian, Chilean, Bolivian, Equatorian, Colombian, Venezuelan, Uruguayan, Cuban music; different from each other but with the particular imprint of the meeting between Indians, Spaniards and Africans of which South American culture is the daughter.
