RENAISSANCE GARDEN IN THE VILLA BUNIĆ-KABOGA 2023: Arcadia

Monday Getaways:  July 17 / July 24 at 9 PM

Info: The Renaissance Garden project is based on a contemporary interpretation of cultural heritage. The visit to the renovated renaissance villa Bunić Kaboga from the 16th century includes a thematically conceived music performance. It is a unique experience and a perfect getaway from the crowded historical City center into the magical ambience of Dubrovnik aristocratic summer residences-places of pleasance, creativity and freedom.

This year’s edition is based on the legacy of Dubrovnik’s noble lady Jelena Pozza Sorgo, who is foremost known as one of the first Croatian female composers. The performance entitled Arcadia is a current pasticcio-work; an artistic intervention which brings together widespread performance practice from the 18 century and a deconstruction of a salon gathering in the authentic pastoral ambience of Dubrovnik summer villas and their gardens in which the rich cultural and social life once took place.
