The play

Istós – Loom in Greek – is inspired by Salvatore Cambosu’s short story “Il Cervo In Ascolto”. Sometimes dramatic, sometimes joyful and fantastic, but also deep and contemplative, Istós tells the story of the creation of the many schools of Sardinian weaving in a fantastic way. It is a large white canvas which paints itself before the audience, as the big loom on stage does, thanks to the work of the women weavers. Original music by Rossella Faa, the graphic pen designs by Carol Rollo and the live drums by Massimo Perra. To testify the whole thing, the photos of Gigi Cabiddu Brau. If you want to see Istós in your city please contact us here.

The Tour

Memory Wefts – Sardinia: The Last Textile Tradition in Europe is a 6 days tour dedicated to enthusiasts and professionals in weaving art. The tour runs through Sardinia, following the weaving path: from the vertical looms of the north-central area, with its mountains, masks and its strong identity traditions; to the horizontal looms of the central-southern area, with its docile plains, its bright colored carpets and sparkling tapestry. We will visit some of the many studios which made Sardinian weaving history, and which represent the several schools and styles in the island. We will also visit some museums and archeological sites, and agritourisms, and holiday farms, because a culture can be understood only by meeting those people who keep it alive day by day. If you want to take part in this tour or for further information please contact us here.
