The Becatalaiotica 2021 Grand Finale is here! The contest, organized by the Associació d’Amics del Museu de Menorca, is celebrating its 5th aniversary. The staging of Becatalaiotica will take place at the different Talayotic Menorca archaeological sites every weekend during October.
Five events, five participants, five sites. By converting the sites into open-air stages, the five finalists - young students between 16 and 25 years of age - aim to create a free nature event, in which any method of expression will be valid to transmit their vision about Menorca’s heritage or propose new ways of understanding it.
The assisting audience, apart from enjoying the event, must evaluate the proposals, assessing their originality, content and evocative power. The finalist who achieves the best evaluation will be granted a 2.000 € scholarship.
The dates and locations for each event are as follow:
- Saturday, October 2, 7:00 p.m. - Talatí de Dalt, Maó
