The myth of the Hesperides returns. The curtain rises at the festival of dance, poetry and theatre

COLLE BRIANZA (Lecco) The curtain rises on the 21st edition of the Giardino delle Esperidi , one of the most popular summer cultural festivals, organized by the artists of Campsirago Residenza , the artists' village of Colle Brianza. The first one was yesterday, at the convent of Santa Maria la vite in Olginate, but it will continue until Sunday of next week, July 13th, every day, with shows and meetings . "From dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn", is the title of this year's festival. "When humans lose their connection with nature, everything that is eaten, smelled, trampled, loses its archetypal relevance - explains Michele Losi, the artistic director -. The muses are at the root of the transformation of nature into art and this long journey of the Hesperides allows us to connect natural, vibrant and living places to moments of dance, poetry, music and theater. This year's festival temporally includes the four synchronic moments of the day: dawn, midday, sunset, then entering the night". The Garden of the Hesperides festival is itinerant, between Mondonico, in Olgiate Molgora, and Monte Barro, passing through Campsirago and the ridge of Mount San Genesio.
