the contemporary circus in Val Colvera
Brocante is a thought, a relationship between the local spectator and the guest artist, between the architecture of the territory and the invention of scenic spaces. It is a collective experience of rapprochement between the inhabitant of a valley and a group of artists willing to invent creative situations studied specifically for the small villages and town squares. It is an exchange of experiences: those of the place, rich in manual knowledge, traditions and values, and the multiple ones, brought by artists from all over the world (from Iceland to Brazil, from Lithuania to Costa Rica). Brocante is a circus, an ideal tent that colors a valley in all its dimensions: from the most intimate of the courtyard of a village, to the one capable of expanding into all spaces, entering the homes of the inhabitants and transforming the eyes, the homes and the streets of the town into a great itinerant show. Brocante is an international artistic phenomenon, made up of shows, concerts, installations, debates and a strong involvement of the inhabitants, which has found a home and meaning in Val Colvera.
