On July 17, 1494, tradition has it that, in the locality of Balze di Verghereto in the Tosco-Romagnolo Apennines, Maria appeared on a stone to two Shepherdesses, one blind and the other deaf and dumb, restoring sight to the first and hearing to the second.
For over 500 years, every July 17th the village hosts a procession of religious and lay people despite the fact that the church of Rome has never recognized the miracle.
'Lumina Vesperis' is born from Marco Catapano's idea of merging audio and video art into a single medium, putting out at the same time the footage in a short film format and the sounds inside it as a music piece.
Therefore both the video and the audio become two indipendent living forms where the breath of one feeds the other and vice versa.'
