The Becatalaiotica 2022 Grand Finale is here. The contest, organized by the Associació d’Amics del Museu de Menorca with the support of Consell Insular de Menorca, is celebrating its 6th aniversary. The staging of Becatalaiotica will take place at the different Talayotic Menorca archaeological sites on October 22 and 29, November 5, 13 and 27.
Becatalaiotica is a cultural project created by the Amics del Museu de Menorca association with the aim of giving visibility to young talent, of claiming the inspiring value of the landscape and promoting the Talayotic Menorca candidacy for World Heritage among new audiences.
Five events, five participants, five sites. By converting the sites into open-air stages, the five finalists - young students between between 18 and 28 years of age - aim to create a free nature event, in which any method of expression is 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 22 at 7 pm in Talatí de Dalt: “Tala-tic-tac”, historical narrative through sound by Miquel López (Barcelona).
- Saturday, October 29 at 6 pm in So Na Caçana: "Conversing with Tanit", performance and dance show by Adela Lafuente (Caldes de Montbui, Barcelona).
