THE CONCEPT

The conference “Feast at the table. The theatres of the earth: heritages of nature and humanity” in memory of the director and playwright Luciano Nattino wants to address a crucial turning point in the postmodern society of today. The land, the peasant condition, the countryside are undergoing an important moment of transfor-mation. Tradition is losing the last actors who have been interpreting the theatre of life, the circle of time, the collective memory of the community, the gesture and the word, the orality transmitted from generation to generation, from father to son, from grandfather to grandson. This is a moment of cultural, social and economic change that also seems to call into question the very process of human evolution.

It is a compulsory memory game to collect, preserve and narrate the future that is written in the past. Human theatres that interpret the year’s and life’s circular stage must, in a Pavesian way, re-become land and country by re-bringing to the table the feast, the time of eternal return, of exceptionality and everyday life. Rhythms consisting of memories, rituals, festivals, and foods that have marked a story that goes beyond history, an interwoven mythology in which one can read both an awareness for nature and refined humanity.

The hills of southern Piedmont overlooking the sea are an interesting cultural workshop where traditional celebrations and food still survive, reinvent themselves, and become remoulded in a harmonious and daring process of renewed little homelands in a post-modern world. A landscape of tangible and intangible construction/deconstruction of great beauty. It is also a horizon of longed-for happiness for those who want to come, discover and experience it, and for those who cherish and care for ecodiversity and ethnodiversity. A heritage of intangible values useful to grasp and interpret future trends in order to outline new gui-delines that are essential to face the climate change that is threatening the world and the very survi-val of humanity.
