Manifesto Fest 2021

On 26 and 27 November 2021 Manifesto returns to the Monk in Rome, the festival dedicated to electronics, experimentation and the visual arts. Two unmissable evenings that will see some of the most interesting artists in circulation and most representative of the Italian electronic scene as protagonists: from the elegant AV performance by the iconic duo Imaginaria and Alessandro Adriani to the bewitching and surprising one by Nava, from the live performance of the kaleidoscopic sound lover Go Dugong to the contemporary and overwhelming one of Whitemary, passing through the DJ sets of two of the most acclaimed Italian producers abroad such as Jolly Mare and Populous.

The performance is precisely inspired by the Ignis Fatuus, the will-o'-the-wisps: weak and illusory lights that float above a swamp, due to a chemical reaction induced by organic decay and which, in myths and legends, resemble lanterns that divert travelers from the safe path.

On the same evening, Nava, an original and magnetic Iranian artist who, after having bewitched the public with his participation in the X Factor 2021 selections, arrives in Rome with an unprecedented audio / video performance in which he presents his latest record Bloom, Ep concept that blends his sound and visual world and in which he experiments more than ever with his Persian roots.... read the rest of the article»
