Microfestival is the world’s tiniest festival in operation since 2017. It is a touring performance art event that tells and gives voice to the places of border mountain areas, allowing them to express themselves. Microfestival seeks its identity in small mountain villages, in micro-urban settings such as the village square, churchyard or sports bar.
\r\nA typical Italian three-wheeler, the Ape, and a \u2018caravan\u2019 of artists arrive in tiny villages: these are places on the fringes where, more than in other areas, multiculturalism has played and continues to play a fundamental role in local identity. These are border zones, areas where people transit and take refuge; they act as contact surfaces between different cultural and linguistic identities. Before the festival, there is an artist residency where the process of listening and the participation of locals overturn the classic spectator\/actor relationship. At the end of the residency, artists and performers stage small and large performances in the streets, representing aspects of village life that retain the stories, memories and dreams of its inhabitants. The festival ends with a collective dinner and a jam-session that lights up the festival, unearths hidden talents and involves inhabitants of all ages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
