Catania Contemporanea /5° FIC Festival
CATANIA CONTEMPORANEA / 5° FIC Festival
Scenario Pubblico and various locations | Catania 3 – 12 May 2024
artistic direction Roberto Zappalà
From May 3rd to May 12th, 2024, Catania becomes the stage for a city-wide festival, promoted by Scenario Pubblico/Centre of National Relevant Interest and curated by the visionary artistic direction of Roberto Zappalà.
The 5th edition of FIC, standing for “Focolaio di Infezione Creativa” (Hub of Creative Infection), aims to focus precisely on the widespread dissemination of art and is primarily dedicated to contemporary dance, but with contamination with various disciplines such as music, theater, cinema, and visual arts.
Numerous partners are involved in a true celebration spread throughout the heart of Catania, which thus becomes a forge of creativity and participation, and a precious opportunity to strengthen the artistic network thanks to the involvement of important entities such as Teatro Massimo Bellini – the city opera theatre with which Scenario Pubblico has activated the rich three-year agreement protocol Be resident: in the city the dance – Isola Cultural Hub, Associazione Musicale Etnea, Fondazione Brodbeck, Palazzo Biscari, Teatro della Città, Fondazione Oelle, and Cinema King. The Festival also benefits from the support of the Camera di Commercio of Southeast Sicily, Asec Trade and the Municipality of Catania, which guarantees the use of some strategic locations in the city.
The program of this edition revolves around the specific theme of Recovery and Protection of Contemporary Repertoire and the enhancement of creative roots in a rich succession of performances by guest companies, photographic and artistic exhibitions, screenings, and much more, including a workshop aimed at transferring the language and repertoire of some of the most interesting European choreographers to the participants and a national conference focused on the same theme.
