With the recent activities of the full program - 110 activities in twenty days - the fourth edition of the Festival Much More Talent May still very new, the organization has conducted an initial review of the results marked by the satisfaction.
As commented the councilman of Youth, Javier Herrero, despite its short history, the much more Mayo has become a major event for most citizens of Cartagena that is beyond the interest of the youth population for function as an innovative interdisciplinary arts festival for everyone.
The unconventional and risky nature of many of the proposals of the program were not as Herrero, an obstacle to the massive presence of public and gaining recognition.
Thus, we must note the success of new proposals as the first Night of the Museums of Cartagena, which managed to pull a massive audience - more than 15,000 people gained access to the five participating museums - and reaffirms the need to maintain this initiative next year.
It has also found majority support from the public the new musical format of the festival - Much More Music - pop-oriented pop and rock bands, confirming the success of the bid by the music 'indie'.
The third new aspect that has resulted in a very positive result it is the pedagogical aspect of the festival, represented by both the traditional importance of offering training workshops (12 workshops this year, with an average enrollment has reached 80% ) and the incorporation of a new line, the Festival of Students and is designed to smooth the relationship of high school students with artists and works of the festival, allowing these visits to schools and the students the works of the festival, the line that will be expanded in future editions.
Similarly, existing sections, as the Conference Cycle - whose audience has increased very significantly - the second edition of the Art Hotel Art Fair (more than 3,000 participants in a weekend), or IV Short week, reinforced by new sections (or Geek Competition Time Limit 18, of shorts by young people) have confirmed their acceptance and monitoring by a loyal and growing, which no doubt has to do with the highest quality each year reach these sections.
He also deserves a special comment tracking the largest section of urban culture, Urban One World, followed by hundreds of enthusiastic youth, who have enjoyed both the Hip Hop concert, as the increasing relevance of graffiti (left as a testimony the medians of historic murals by the compositions and the impressive work SAM3 St., Kraser and Seal on the stairs and Gisbert Street tunnel), and the dramatic presence of Parkour traceurs, followed by a tireless army of young people interested in this discipline for overcoming physical urban obstacles.
Has also been very successful participation of the residents of Santa Lucia as a neighborhood guest of the festival this year.
The presence of hundreds of residents on the many activities and facilities that have chosen this popular area of Cartagena as a backdrop, and the very example of their creative works confirm the success of the festival to propose the inclusion of a neighborhood in the program each year, which result is a lever for population groups usually away from this type of cultural practices and always surprises you with a warm welcome.
For its part, the reinforcement of the guest is allowed to have jobs as authors no doubt enjoying growing recognition and Rosell Meseguer and Clara Boj and Diego Diaz.
They have also worked exceptionally well especially invited educational institutions, as is the case of the papers presented in St. Lucia by the Istituto Europeo di Design or Architecture Contest in collaboration with the School of Architecture of Alicante, who bequeathed the remodeling of the Plaza of the Constitution of the Santa Lucia around the project 'A Quarter with its own light', which marks the presence of contemporary architecture in a historic district.
Finally, despite the weather setbacks, the closing show of the festival last night (finally moved to the morning of Sunday), was fascinated by those who enjoyed the grandeur of the theater air Puja!.
Still, said Smith, the highest recognition that the festival has found so little time has been the interest expressed by young artists in the 161 different projects presented to the public call for artists from all over the world, including 43 which were finally selected by professional jury.
The council also thanked the collaboration of dozens of organizations and associations (up to 54 different ones) that have participated in this edition, ranging from traders Open Mall of Hostec caterers, through neighborhood associations, the Caja Mediterráneo ( CAM), the UPCT, the Association of Art Galleries of the Region of Murcia, the Municipal School of Theatre and Circus School Malabagic, the Conservatory of Music, major museums, art groups and Tresorg, Mayhem, Rama Blanca, Another Dance, Aver group, etc., Hotel NH, cultural institutions - in addition to the Ministry of Culture - like Cehiform, Lab, Centro Parraga, media (Truth, Opinion, Cadena Ser) etc.
