An evening of "borderless"
celebration yesterday greeted the official opening of Go!2025,
Nova Gorica-Gorizia first cross-border European Capital of
Culture.
If the central piazza Vittoria in Gorizia resounded with the
music by Remo Anzovino, the 40 Fingers and singer-songwriter
Tish, across the border the celebration of art and music was
hosted in Edvard Kardelj Square, in front of the city hall,
where a preview of the main projects of the official GO! 2025
program was staged, curated by director Neda Rusjan Bric. With
dances, videomapping and dialogues, the history and stories of
the area were reconstructed. The welcome greeting fell to the
Slovenian premier, Robert Golob, who referred to the cooperation
between peoples, peculiar to this borderland, as a message to be
sent to the world against all conflict and opposition.
Performances in the Nova Gorica square also included Bostjan
Gombac, with a reproduction of the Neanderthal flute found in
Slovenia, and two instrumentalists and friends Alexander Gadijev
and Giuseppe Guarreri.
Today, according to the program, the celebrations continue
with a program of initiatives in Piazza Vittoria and the Public
Gardens on Corso Verdi, then close with more moments in music.
Among others, a DJ set by Dargen D'Amico is expected.
