Par Tòt - Bologna 2003/2004 - copyright 2010 Francesco Caradonna

"Par Tòt Parata" means "Parade for all the people" in bolognese dialect.

It is a project that expresses itself dung the FEST-FESTival, a big event that involves artists, associations, curators, schools, cultural operators in a series of meetings and a parade that takes place in the streets of Bologna.
"Par Tòt Parata" directly involves all the citizens giving new life and meaning to the city and redefining its places turning them into something magical and different. It's an explosion of costumes, street theatre, dancing, singing, carnival floats and a lot more. The citizen becomes the artist and the artist becomes the citizen creating a new ritual space for the social life of the city.

"Par Tòt Parata" is a cultural path; it was born in the suburbs of the city with the will of going through its center and of drawing it with the colors of cultural varieties and different subjectivities; a lot of workshops anticipate the parade and find expression in it.
