In the Oliero Caves Park within the Brenta Valley, amidst some of Europe's largest karstic springs, immersed in an untouched natural environment and overlooked by towering rock faces, Andrea Pennacchi explores the impact of alien species on local and global biodiversity. He highlights how climate change and human actions irreversibly promote their spread. This is a narrative that blends reality and fantasy, history and biography, science and Venetian folklore.

Accompanied by a soundtrack that mixes nature sounds, urban noises, and live music, stories filtered through memory and seemingly fantastical tales intertwine with scientific data on the spread of new species. This creates an unprecedented contrast between the surrounding environment, the magic of memories, and the harsh reality of contemporary changes.

On the hill of Marostica, which hosts Pigrotto, a giant sculpture of a six-legged dog created by Elena Xausa, a young and talented internationally renowned illustrator who passed away in 2022, a tribute to the music she cared deeply about, comes a project by two gifted figures from the most innovative electronic music scene.

Populous, the stage name of Andrea Mangia, is a composer and sound designer also active in web and museum projects. He has won several awards and released albums that have garnered great critical and public acclaim. With a background in musicology, Populous has always been interested in diverse musical genres and styles, which now shine through in his work—particularly Latin American sounds refracted through a European lens.

Nicolas Gaunin is the alter ego of Nicola Sanguin, a member of the vibrant experimental music scene. His solo electronic project is a playful cosmic mash-up balancing vintage electronic instruments, sampling, and exotic, immersive soundscapes.

NOTES

It is recommended to park near the Historic Center and walk up on foot either from the Chiesa dei Carmini (via the homonymous path) or from Via Prospero Alpino (Val di Botte path).
There is no seating provided, so comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing for walking in nature are advised, as well as a blanket or mat to sit on the grass.

Like animals, like children, like adults... Using rhythm, listening and spontaneity, the creation of a palette of colors ready to articulate unlikely, absurd, unreasonable and free from any logic situations is staged. A game of meaningless associations, which allows us to circumvent arbitrariness with a comic potential. A way of creating that revolves around the freedom and pleasure of doing and undoing together.

Megastructure is a performative dance duet whose pieces are continuously disassembled, researched, tested and reinvented. Co-creators and performers Sarah Baltzinger and Isaiah Wilson on a bare stage, supported only by their incredible range of physical abilities, seem to deconstruct their bodies, eyes fixed on the audience, impassive, while the rest of their bodies move in all possible directions. They fly across the stage, as if controlled by an external force, staring at us, unimpressed, controlling their bodies as if they were a construction set with unlimited combinations. They display a physicality bordering on the impossible and, finally, they exchange an affectionate kiss as they let the audience go, a last tenderness in an otherwise painful existence.
