HEARTS ON PARADE

There is a time to dance and one to remove. The difference lies in the dynamics of the contact. In
dance between performers and audience, there is a middle stage. In the parade, dancers and spectators
are there, one step away from each other, almost touching. And 'the miracle on Sunday.

are just after six. The units are deployed. On either side of the road leading to the historic center of
Tarcento there is a huge crowd that awaits the heroes of the Festival.
a jungle of cameras, large and small, amateur and professional, ready to use. The Faiva Mako,
barefoot, in red skirt, already puts on a show. A musician Ossetia shakes his violin, and fellow

the godmothers of the six countries that pace, a light step, under the flash.

In the circle of audience that embraces the artists are entering the Rioni di Cori, the first to pull
and challenge your balance. The more salt the drumbeat, the higher the speed of the flags.
The colors do not stand out more. A red and green, the medieval coat of arms is already that one. The flags are
flames that burn. The drum is the fire is crackling. In the traditional ballet

Chino Ermacora has gained weight. There are no special effects,
the volume is not high. Accordion and violin are a gentle caress, while the couple
grant to dance, arm in arm, hand in hand. There are also children of the group,
real doll in tights. A small scare the public, however, we think of the sneers
"tomat" masked. The Old Woman runs after them with a broom. She relives the home.

New Caledonia and Ecuador, a continuum thrilling. People ask who is that kid

rather like the costumes, rainbow. A rainbow in motion from right to left and
return. A sinuous motion, a caravan of light where fire red and emerald green
joyful duet alliance.

Spain ... and immediately after Ossetia. The pleasure of the contrast. The zenith and the nadir of
folkloric ballet. Making their first entry into the great circle of eyes, hands and polaroid
are bailerines del Carmen Guerrero. An army of castanets. With elegance and passion
couples frolic around the white scarves that leave slip to the ground. The rhythm is

a return to austerity, the impalpable and the sacred, however, for "Goretz" Ossetia. Another breath.
Tuck. When the pairs, side by side, balancing on toes, turn, turn
as the propeller of a plane perfect, the public does not want to believe. Do not touch the ground! It seems that hover

makes miracle evidence.

Two notes of "Cielito Lindo." Everyone knows, everyone will sing. Votes thought to begin

the parade on Sunday. Beautiful women, colorful wreath in her hair, white poncho

All groups have been around back streets of Via Roma and proposing the exclusive
variety of repertoires. And on the three stages of a performance in the evening, while a corridor of light radiated

of this unique scene there are photos, but a witness. As if to say: there is always something
in this festival of peace, harmony and music that can not be depicted, but only
live.

STORIES OF ORDINARY MAGIC

smiles for the cameras, put in the unusual folklore Friuli.
stories of ordinary magic, just to reinterpret Bukowski, the last day of the Festival, here at
schools. Just a few hour of closing the show, it's raining outside but there is no room for sadness
. There is talk of magic and transformation, because it is the theme of today and the deep sense of
this intense week of celebration. The writer Milan Kundera has
wanted to call one of his most successful novel "The Farewell Waltz". Judging from the atmosphere that reigns in the corridors
think rather to a "tango dell'arrivederci. Last night, Monday 23, the last private party,
returning from travel in Venice. The artists of the six countries have met the Serenissima,
savored for a few hours its unmistakable aroma. And in the evening, returned to Tarcento,
have wanted to keep on dreaming. Songs sung outdoors, drinking cold beer with friends.
The folklore is that too. Today we are here, all processed, all different. Each
in the shoes of the other. A magic possible only when we speak the same language.
a language that knows no borders, customs, borders. The music. The goddess of harmony and common sense. At two

in the morning we will greet the group Tungurahua in Ecuador. At five will be the turn of
English cousins, and after breakfast, between nine and ten, the last mention of the sombrero
Colima Mexican flag and a fleeting flight of the friends of Cori Lazio. In the first afternoon the group
Goretz Ossetia leave for distant lands on his bus. The irrepressible
of New Caledonia will leave the school around 23. An adventure turns to
sunset. A sunset that accompanied it, step by step, as the slow decline of light
regions of South America. Let's have fun, dance and share. Everyone says so in his
language, but all say the same thing.

I am just a curious. Carry what I see, what I feel. The emotions I feel.
I wanted this little window on the Festival of Hearts because, in my little corner hidden
secluded, quiet but alert, I immediately felt part of this immense
color wheel that spins, like the lives of people around the world. In my message of thanks
followed by many names. The names of those who bet on me and I wanted to like "Curious Journal" of the Festival.
These names are in my mind and my heart, by the management, staff, new friends
I found. Other adventures begin. Other pages will be written. With or without me. If
then, to "spy" smile with the energy and passion of folklore I can be me again, there
deny that I will receive a gift.

The gift that we want to leave it for the last time an image. Perhaps the image, the scene of
Festival of Hearts, and sums up all the spirit that has always wanted to represent.
This time, it is not leading the now-famous "baby Maori" but a "baby
Flamenco". Carmela. To form the circle are all there. And they all keep the rhythm. Beside the
mujeres English flag bearers dressed in choir, the strings vibrate in unison their
classical guitars, singing an aria Iberian tradition. On the opposite side of the public
Ossetians, Friuli, Lazio, Mexican and Ecuadorian encourages this extraordinary
budding ballerina. Carmela has his moment of honor, as a kind of initiation rite,
before the eyes of his fellow enthusiastic Andalusians. Carmela knows that this party wants to be a leader
. It moves up fairy steps, sway gracefully, fleeting glances,
shouts, "Ole!" With others. Carmela is the Festival of Hearts. For seven days indienticabili, so we were all

SQUARES ENCHANTED
Why perform on a stage alone, when you can have three? Can best spell,
not? The magic that you want to tell come true on Friday at 21, Night of the specialties.
Three squares, all three of theater folklore timeless. But first things first.
The day was long and intense. At 11 am, representatives from airlines, to away
Pradandons, received complimentary olive trees typical of Friuli. A sign of peace
, the seal of friendship and cooperation between Tarcento and the rest of the world,
hard, is conserved. As the life of this special plant. With
a trick jump to highlight.
Piazza Roma, 21 hours, the sky holds, there's finally summer air. There are also artists
Ecuador. It 's time for them to leave their mark, to consolidate its
style in front of the public. They do. And great. The women are elegant, with the typical headgear
fell on his head, in the first choreography. They look like tulips blowing in the wind. Then go up the men. Men
made of bells. They move in rhythm with the women-tulip. They sing and rattle, a rattlesnake
triumph. The show is the first taste of magic, which opens to the flag-wavers and gentlemen. From Cori
with love. The Italian masters of the sign does not disappoint, reproduce show from a medieval
breath. Period of courts and courtiers, knights to single combat. Under the tent,
a shower of applause. Chapeau.

Market Square, same time. It 's time the Ossetians. The performance leaves all of
stucco. There is nothing of austerity, solemn, the night before. This time, their dance is
a glittering sparkle of knives. Shake them, the dancers, dressed in black and red bandana.
throws them on the wooden stage, and stick there, behind the cries of the warriors. Dangerous.
Exciting. A hint of sweetness at the entrance of the charming ladies of the East. Then
still a show of force. Two dancers in the form of an angel, alone on stage. Ali
white one, black for the other. The good and evil that challenge, on tiptoe, with strokes of music. Hot
revolutionary Ossetia. Meanwhile, Mexico's Colima serene waiting backstage.
Far from being nervous. Proved by the entries, which give the violins. They are light as air. Moreover,
lived an unforgettable afternoon. They performed in front of a special public.
Guests of the home of Sapphire Tarcento. A chorus of voices in the solo stroking a pair of
bailarines, under the gaze of the elderly kidnapped. Finally he started crying
emotion. The Mexicans.

to contend the stage in Freedom Square, New Caledonia and Spain. If the Mako Faiva
Mata-Utu made my blood boil in his veins more than anyone, with their sound
tribal and deep, the Andalusian Cadiz have chosen to send the paper dell'habanera
speed up the tarcentini. A boss once again, the fans, as white as the heels of
mujeres. Both the flamenco in this unusual setting of the Alps and valleys on the horizon, is now at home.
Now who breaks the most, the spell?

An adjective for each group. To give them an extra touch, in addition to the kaleidoscopic play of colors

Chino Ermacora - Pop. "Popular", in the highest sense of the word. Since 1965, now, their
show is an example of extreme closeness and respect for what has Ermanno Olmi
called "peasant", made up of rituals in Time does not forgive. "Traditional" as
root of "tradition" to carry and store. Pearl of the footage was

accordions, able to articulate perfectly the movements of "Tomaz", with precious
melodic arabesques. Show by great masters of ceremonies.

Wavers of Cori - fireworks. He teaches the art of handling the teachers are, and their flags
rotate in unison in the air; that fall, returning in his hands, before recovering

performance, their. Almost 45 years of history and not hear them. So it was possible to attend, in addition to the paintings and sequences
flags in hand, the scene of a duel with swords with a lot of
winner, intent to stab the opponent. With the burden (and honor) to follow the dance
the hosts, the pyrotechnic Cori have held high, very high, the flag of Italy.

Tungurahua - transformers. Grupo Folklorico Ecuador will be difficult to forget. Even for
costumes. Always different, every performance. Pleated skirts, yellow, red and blue
for women. Half and half leather pants and fur ponchos for men.

their dances, accompanied by the sound of the drum and "pingullo" typical flute.
without forgetting the unique and powerful melody of the horn. A celebration of feathers, jewels and embroidery,
tribute to the people of the first major South American city-state. Chameleon.

Faiva Mako - Tribal. Strong, muscular. Tattooed on the face, on the back. An explosive charge,
a land-based force. This general impression, listening to the group of New Caledonia.
Energy overwhelming sculpted bodies in the sun, which they whirl, they clap their hands
chest and calves. They scream in chorus all their might. Their dancing seemed almost transposition

intense and tribal.

Carmen Guerrero - Incandescent. The Spaniards, you know, are a warm people. Sometimes
really hot. At the first evening of the Festival's performance
Compania Flamenca Carmen Guerrero, directly from Cadiz, in Andalusia, has had plenty of hot, and
first of all, the perfect combination of stage lights and costumes. Under the frenetic pace of
flamenco guitars and sumptuous vocal virtuosity of the singer, a show of vivid colors,
Mediterranean: bright lights, bright red skirts. Raids of purple, orange. Then again so
light. To act as a counterpoint to couples prancing on stage: castanets, fans, walking sticks, wide-brimmed hats
, fishing nets and baskets. The best Andalusian tradition, transplanted to Tarcento.
Ole!

Universidad de Colima - Sublime. The group in Mexico we know it. They played by themselves in
preview evening of the festival, and we dare call them "sublime." Thursday evening, it said
, have confirmed the true champion. Another world, another breath, another
planet. They go all the couples: messy, noisy. Joke, go with each other
. They folklore. Then the music starts. One step, two steps, three steps.
burst geometry and coordination. For a show of its kind, totally unique. Only seven letters, once again
: sublime.

Ensamble "Goretz" - Austere. The Ossetians take the stage of the Festival and now we see in
their slow pace and composed, collected, as if they were one big pair march, the march
austere warriors and princesses of the East. Their dance
crystallized the memory of a bloody past, one of war and conflict with enemy peoples. The effect is melancholy, nostalgic
. But powerful. The contrast of the costumes - bright white for the girls,
pitch black for men - stitched by the same dancers. Sparkle, the swords of the warriors.

It is the emotion.
