A journey trough stories, images, sounds and metaphors

"Walking" is the theme of the 2009 edition of Candiani Summer Fest, from 8th to 20th July: a wide theme in order to decline the actions of human beings in prose and in poetry trough words, sounds and images, beyond their mere mechanical turning out. 

You can walk in many different ways and for many reasons, often banal and instrumental, to get from a place to another one. However walking means first of all setting out and being on the way, being helpful and observing, meeting, sharing, comunicating, transmitting and learning. In this way even the most elementary movement becomes a complex experience fated to modify the subject who makes it.
As a matter of fact, they say that philosophy was born on Athenian streets, in everlasting movement towards a never-gratifying, never-complete truth. "Walking" must be interpreted in this context as a free and new experience of research in which artists, thinkers and poets share their own opinions and creativity with the public of Candiani. Of course on the move.
