Good Friday – Procession
Taormina, April 3 2015 – Late afternoon/night
Good Friday is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday. In Taormina, the event starts in the late afternoon just before dusk, as hundreds of women clad in black, carrying orange-colored lanterns, descend the narrow steps linking the main streets, and begin the procession. A group of women support on their shoulders a statue of the blessed mother engulfed by flowers. A band playing somber music processes behind them, while the men of begin their march, bearing the statue of Jesus on their shoulders. The entire group slowly walks to the duomo and back. 
All shop’s lighting and all street illumination on the Corso Umberto will be switched off, as soon as the procession is arriving. Only the candles of the procession give some low light. When it is passed by, the shopkeepers switch on the lights again.
Whether you’re Catholic or not, you can’t help but get caught up in the beauty, the history and the solemnity of the occasion.

Lola Astanova
Taormina Greek Theatre
August 16th 2013, 9.30pm Some absolutely love her. Others criticize nearly everything she does. But one thing is certain: Lola Astanova is a phenomenon. A virtuoso often described as “firebrand” and nicknamed “the million-dollar pianist”, Lola is hardly your stereotypical classical musician. Add to that her interest in fashion, film and pop (yes, pop!) music, and it becomes obvious that no one traditional definition is sufficient and accurate enough to describe this unique artist.

Lola Astanova will play Ouverture to Candide and Symphonyc dances west side story by Leonard Bernstein, Alborada del Graciosa by Maurice Ravel and Rapsodia in Blu by George Gershwin.

La Libertà di essere Folle – The Freedom to be Crazy
Ancient Theatre, Sunday 4th August 2024 @ 9.30pm
Screenwriter: Titti Mazza
Director: Fabio La Rosa
Assistant Director: Anthony Abate
Musicians: Alba Letizia Sofia, Giuseppe Lisa
Ballet: Ennio Strongoli, Barbara Fazzari
The show is based on the method of “emotional theatre”,
Thanks to his works, Fabio La Rosa, the author, obtained the gold medal “Maison des artistes” Rome, the Cartagine prize at the European parliament of Rome and the certificate as a Testimonial of human rights at the Senate of Rome.
“The freedom to be crazy” is a show that takes inspiration from the reality of mental hospitals and the Basaglia Law.
- Basaglia Law or Law 180 (Italian: Legge Basaglia, Legge 180) is the Italian Mental Health Act of 1978 which signified a large reform of the psychiatric system in Italy, contained directives for the closing down of all psychiatric hospitals and led to their gradual replacement with a whole range of community-based services, including settings for acute in-patient care. The Basaglia Law is the basis of Italian mental health legislation. The principal proponent of Law 180 and its architect was Italian psychiatrist Franco Basaglia, therefore, Law 180 is known as the “Basaglia Law” from the name of its promoter. (source: Wikipedia).
