On Saturday, November 14, the Sant'Agostino neighborhood will transform into a place of inspiration and tradition with Ammajare OFF – Contos' e Foghile, a cultural event dedicated to esotericism, spirituality, and popular memory.
The event will take place in Largo Guillot, with a program that combines literature, theater, and oral storytelling, reviving the ancient custom of gathering around the fire to share stories and legends. The initiative also focuses on the allure of the panas, mysterious figures of Sardinian tradition, and a reflection on past lives and the spiritual dimension of existence.
The program will begin at 4:00 PM with an opening and introduction by the Sant'Agostino Area Committee.
At 4:30 pm, the book Amor Fati by Consuelo Pinna will be presented, while at 5 pm the community brazier will be lit, around which traditional tales will come to life.
At 5:15 pm, theater will take center stage with a performance and literary reading by the students of Teatro Ichnu. Card reading sessions will also be available throughout the event, and the evening will conclude with refreshments open to all attendees.
The initiative is organized by the Intrecci Culturali association, in collaboration with the Sant'Agostino Area Committee and the Il Manoscritto bookshop, with the patronage of the Municipality of Alghero and the Alghero Foundation.
