DESCRIPTION: Centocapre (literally onehundredgoats) is a year-long community-based participatory project created as a form of historical reconstruction of a collective myth called Centocapre. It takes place in
Latronico (PZ) a centuries-old village, like many in these parts of Italy, rich in traditions, stories and characters. "Centocapre is a flow, a moment in the life of the artist and the community together with which the work came to be."[P.R]
f' activates a dialogue with the population of the small village in Basilicata and collects faded testimonies, collective stories, tales and fragmentary memories, partly related to ancient events and rituals, of pagan origin where
nature is the center and revolutionary origin of every identity. The discovery of some finds is a further foothold for a story that combines invention and interpretation, regenerates ethno-anthropological elements belonging to the local community.
The project lasted one year and included workshops with the participation of children and adults, in collaboration with various artists and musicians. The objective was the creation of a collective docufiction film and a parade involving villagers. The climax of the event was the appearance of the turquoise heraldic symbol of Centocapre, projected nightly on the village walls —a vision that will recur for years to come. The resulting work is a multichannel, medium-length film narrating a timeless, "migrant" and "modular" myth.
