Thousands of people, both inside and outside of Cartagena, and all ages and have enjoyed more street festivals artistic interventions in urban spaces that are held in the region, and in just three years has become the essential cultural event of the spring with a growing national and even regional coverage.
The two basic bets of Mucho Mas Mayo have been revealed in real hit on the one hand, confidence in the creativity of young talents and interests of their jobs, and on the other, the commitment to public spaces by common but unusual places to display these cultural initiatives.
Thus, about three hundred young people who participated in this issue have found in this festival a great platform to deliver original and compelling works in all forms of artistic expression to an audience that is becoming larger and more participatory.
Other aspects that have contributed to the growing acceptance of Mucho Mas Mayo festival, as highlighted by the organization have been the importance given to training program (14 workshops), the participation of specialized schools (pupils of the School of Architecture in Alicante or several schools), the incorporation of quality entertainment programming, collaboration with associations and organizations of all kinds (cultural associations, neighborhood association, business association, banking, media, advertising companies, etc. .) and other festivals and cultural institutions (Festival Moving, The Sea Muscia, CEHIFORM, Centro Parraga ...).
It has also proved positive the addition of a popular neighborhood, one of the riskier bets for the festival, to the territories in which it unfolds as an exercise of the so-called culture of proximity.
The Virgin of Charity neighborhood-the neighborhood chosen this year to be followed by other different in successive editions, has been a new form of interaction between citizens and the cultural event, and a stir-in the best sense of the word for all inhabitants of this district.
The publication of this year, coinciding with the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue "has also been the opening to the internalization of a festival that, being local, fleeing the premises and stores your hands creators around the world (this time , from France, China, Bulgaria, Morocco, India ... as well as many Spanish regions), looking for enriching dialogue between different cultures.
ORIGINALITY AND INNOVATION IN THE PROPOSED
But if I had to highlight a net contribution of Mucho Mas Mayo Cartagena to the cultural landscape, according to organizers, it is the originality and innovation of applications: from the 'spoken word' in Bengali poetry bars in a Roman ruin, from activities in attics to music in the fish market, to the surprise of some imaginative installations to an art fair in a hotel facility, or dazzling street theater.
This last aspect, the powerful and brilliant performances as a concert or performance Mestizos Plasticiens Volants Les, who dragged thousands of people seek out and give visibility to a festival that nevertheless does not succumb to the temptation of the spectacle, something which would undermine its capacity gathering of young artists.
Finally, the festival organizers would like to thank the various municipal departments that have made possible the realization of the Festival (in addition to Youth, Culture, Infrastructure, Tourism, Public Safety, ...), as well as to the long list of companies of all kinds, to all associations and youth organizations and citizens who have contributed, and other festivals and cultural centers that have lent their support and cooperation, without which there could have developed such an intense program and diverse as that offered in this third edition of Mucho Mas Mayo.
The festival organizers Much More May, at the conclusion of the detailed assessment of this issue we will immediately work to give all a great festival next year.
The appointment will be in Cartagena in May 2009.
