Terni Festival: theater and music close the second edition
The last two events of the Terni Festival will be held on May 28th and June 6th, marking the conclusion of a cycle of events that have highlighted Terni’s identity as a university city. The Festival, dedicated to teaching, innovation and research, saw collaboration between high schools, universities of Perugia and various local entities, involving students on highly topical issues. The second edition, which began in November 2023, had as its central theme artificial intelligence and its impact on industry, work and fundamental rights.
On May 28, 2024, at 9 pm, the Secci Theater will host the show “Io e AI il modern Ulysses”, written, directed and performed by Stefano De Majo. This theatrical event, the result of the collaboration between students of the Liceo Ginnasio Statale “Gaio Cornelio Tacito” and the actor De Majo, explores the theme of artificial intelligence through a multisensory approach, mixing science and dreams, humanity and technology. The show is produced by the Municipality of Terni, the University of Perugia, the Association for Terni Città Universitaria and the Teatro Acciaio, with the participation of the singer Valeria Farinacci, the choreography by Romana Sciarretta, and the digital effects curated by Paul Harden.
The second event, scheduled for 6 June 2024, again at the Secci Theater at 9pm, will close the Festival with a celebratory party. In collaboration with the “Giulio Briccialdi” State Conservatory of Music, the evening will see the awarding of the best works presented by middle and high school students, the result of work guided by their teachers and supervised by university professors. The entries, available on the Festival website, are currently the subject of an online vote which will end on June 4th. The most viewed video will decide the winner of the Terni Festival Trophy for the year 2024, which will be awarded on June 6th.
The theatrical event and musical party represent not only the conclusion of the second edition of the Festival, but also the celebration of a project that has actively involved the school and university community of Terni, promoting collaboration and innovation.
