TAROCCHI · DIALOGHI BREVI CON LE CARTE

Piano Summer si apre a un’altra forma di linguaggio artistico: un dialogo con le carte, prima delle note.

Un breve incontro con i Tarocchi, secondo il metodo di Alejandro Jodorowsky, a cura di Roberto Boccadamo, suo allievo a Parigi. Una lettura artistica e psicomagica delle carte, pensata come un dono per chi partecipa.

Non hanno carattere divinatorio, ma offrono un momento di ascolto in cui le immagini diventano uno strumento per mettere a fuoco pensieri, intuizioni e passaggi personali.

A seguire, il concerto Marco Bardoscia Trio & Ospiti speciali — Notte Mediterranea, Jazz Open Stage.

📍 Chiostro dei Teatini, Lecce
🕗 Sabato 22 agosto, ore 20:00 — Tarocchi in ordine di arrivo
A seguire, il concerto

Biglietti concerto: https://pianosummer.eu/it/biglietti, oppure al botteghino all’ingresso.
