Atmosphere and content catalyse the distancing from the ordinary reality in order to generate a new perception and empirical cognition.

Arcadia is a remote and secluded region, it’s a locus amoenus by definition: land of songs, poems and melodies that allow an escape from reality. Arcadia is an ideal place by appearance and content, a place of natural beauty and inspiration. Atelier FraSe creates mechanical, natural and animal forms blending with the urban environment, acting on and interacting with spaces and visitors. The interaction with some structures generates in fact, simple sound and visual effects, and through contemporaneity and contingency, creates new scenarios of experimentation and experience. The whole festival space becomes a cathedral without walls, in which atmosphere and content catalyse the distancing from the ordinary reality in order to generate a new perception and empirical cognition.
