LUCIA is an international festival dedicated to the listening of radio works and podcasts.
It is a celebration of the art of storytelling without images.
The festival presents audio narratives from all over the world, and does so thanks to the curated production of subtitled videos – in Italian and English – to facilitate linguistic accessibility. In addition to listening sessions, LUCIA is also a calendar of live performances, sensory warm-ups, meetings with authors and audio makers.
Having become a biennial event, LUCIA is scheduled from 12 to 15 December 2024 in Florence and will be held again this year at CANGO – Cantieri Culturali Goldonetta as part of the winter programme The Democracy of the Body, with two external appointments at Cinema Astra and Villa Romana.
The fifth edition of the festival explores possible dimensions of listening in an alternation between an intimate and a collective dimension In listening to what is not immediately visible, to places imagined and places remembered, to dissonant bodies, Lucia questions what we do think to know.
Lucia 2024 presents works by and encounters with: Cristiano Barducci, Talia Augustidis, Pauline Augustyn, Giovanni Cioni, Chloé Despax, Mojca Delač, Luka Hvalc, Anne Jeppesen, Michela Mancini, Johann Merrich, Marta Perrotta, Saška Rakef Perko, Ana Teodora Popa, Katie Revell, Rodolfo Sacchettini, Perla Sardella, Zak Rosen, Jonathan Zenti…
