The Thumòs Quartet brings the expressive power of strings to the high mountains, amid silences that listen and landscapes that resonate: the Marmolada and the Dolomite peaks embrace the music in all its essence
"Achillea" is not just a flower, but the driving force behind a story that is both ethereal and real, in which the two protagonists catapult the audience into different dimensions of their relationship, from play to conflict.
Free show for adults and children of all ages. At 2 p.m. in the immediate vicinity of the Malga and Rifugio Contrin at an altitude of 2,016 metres. The location can be reached on foot from Alba with a walk of about 2 hours through the Val Contrin, or by using the shuttle service departing from Alba, which takes you to the Baita Loica Contrin, from where you continue on foot for about an hour. Shuttle service is available for a fee and must be booked by the day before. In case of bad weather, the show will be cancelled.
"Achillea" is one of the shows of the Circen Dolomites Festival. For a whole week, from 25 July to 3 August, the Val di Fassa hosts established street artists and talented international jugglers. Squares, museums and even high-altitude locations are transformed into exceptional stages for amazing performances of skill and inventiveness. The festival is organised by the Fassa juggling group "Circensema", founded in 2017 in collaboration with the local association "Inout", which has been practising circus arts for several years and also trains teenagers, together with professionals, who perform in shows throughout the year, combining juggling with theatre.
