On Saturday 1 March from 10 pm, The Carnival Party returns to the Castello Volante in Corigliano d’Otranto. A celebration of imagination and transformation, where dressing up allows you to glimpse unknown worlds, become someone else, play with reality and transcend its boundaries.
Through the halls, towers, terraces and parade ground of one of Puglia’s most beautiful castles, the party becomes a living spectacle – a whirlwind of music, wild dancing and performances in which every identity can dissolve and be reborn.In the great collective game of Carnival, the mask is a transition, poised between the visible and the invisible, and the gaze an enigma, in which to lose oneself and find oneself again. And to guard the secret of what has been glimpsed, the echo of an identity suspended between dream and reality, of a moment when anything was possible.
Hide, reveal, transform. Join the Dionysian ritual, dancing amidst the shadows and lights, where every mask tells a story and every story becomes a celebration.
