Autumn leaf(s)

The fourth edition of the event Traces of Foliage takes us straight into the chaotic whirlwind of falling leaves. With “Leaves of Autumn”, all attention is on them, a natural element rich in meanings, capable of accompanying autumn reflections, when the colors that replace green stir emotions and thoughts.

The protagonists are the leaves, which change color, detach from the branches, and let themselves be carried away by the wind. Their falling tells of change, abandonment, letting go: places perhaps difficult to inhabit, but in their chaos push us to seek banks, relationships, and new meanings.
The foliage thus becomes an opportunity to transform leaves into pages: surfaces on which to write, draw, note, but also musical scores. Memory becomes future through writing, reading, drawing, and music, in a weave of experiences that cross the woods and the territory of Belluno.

We will go into the forest to observe its metamorphoses, discover its inhabitants and learn to draw in a travel notebook and make a sheet of paper. With Giacomo Moro Mauretto, alias Entropy for Life, we will learn the secrets of plants and, while playing, explore the world of single-celled organisms.

The event also adheres to “Veneto Reads”, with a reading aloud dedicated to the mountain, and offers tasty snacks with local products and ancient Belluno recipes. To close, there will be a performance of voice, keyboard, and guitar in a “secret” place in Belluno.

Traces of Foliage thus invites us to slow down, observe, and let ourselves be traversed by the chaos of leaves: because even a falling leaf can become a trace, a story, a new beginning.
