With a cosmopolitan élan, this Festival intends to promote a renewed culture of sound and silence (“total listening”), by creating synesthetic immersive spaces where ancient traditional knowledge is combined with experimental practices.
The PHONOSOPHIA Festival will present different types of events: lecture-performances, sound rituals, installations, poetic-philosophical readings, “cinema for the ears” (musique acousmatique), discussions, sound walks, workshops, creative retreats etc., involving internationally leading personalities of the artistic-cultural scene of the present.

Festival PHONOSOPHIA 21-23 giugno 2024, Attigliano
Il “theatrum phonosophicum”, in cooperazione con il Simmetria Institute Library Museum – Fondazione Lanzi di Attigliano (www.simmetriainstitute.com), presenta il Festival PHONOSOPHIA, dedicato alla “Conoscenza attraverso il Suono”.
Con respiro cosmopolita, il Festival PHONOSOPHIA intende promuovere una rinnovata cultura del suono e del silenzio (“ascolto totale”), creando spazi esperienziali sinestetici in cui antichi saperi tradizionali vanno a coniugarsi con pratiche sperimentali.
Il Festival PHONOSOPHIA prevede eventi di diverso tipo: lecture-performance, azioni sonore, rituali di ascolto, installazioni, letture poetico-filosofiche, “cinema per le orecchie” (musique acousmatique), discussioni, sound walk, laboratori, retreat creativi etc., coinvolgendo internazionalmente personalità di spicco della scena artistico-culturale del presente.
