The Becatalaiotica 2023 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 7th aniversary. The staging of Becatalaiotica will take place at the different Talayotic Menorca archaeological sites on May 13, June 4, 11 and 17, and July 1.
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, May 13 at 11 a.m. in Talatí de Dalt:
"Terra endins", a traditional Menorcan dance show and workshop with Paula Planas (Barcelona, 1998).
