Wwoofing at casa del cuculo


Spartiti per Scutari Orkestra


cuckoo's house 


the association 

“La Casa del Cuculo” literally means “The House of the Cuckoo” in Italian. It is a house located in the beautiful countryside of Fratta Terme (Forlì-Cesena, Italy), that has always hosted many people of several origins and backgrounds who have developed their cultural and artistic projects in its inspiring rooms. 

The ferments that have been matching and meeting inside the house have naturally evolved into an association that gathers all the people who live and/or cooperate within the house. They have given life to creative collaborations of several kinds.

They are both people who originally come from that area and love their own territory, and people who have moved there from somewhere else. They all wish to actively promote the artistic and cultural development of that territory, and create projects and networks that will link it to many more spaces and times.

activities 


AFRICAN DANCE AND MUSIC

workshops and performances of Western African dance and music all over the region and beyond...

URBAN DANCE

it is an open group of people who hop in urban and outdoor spaces. The group is linked to the Grasshoppa Dance Exchange founded by Maureen Shea in Canada. We also organize urban dance seminars. 

ENVIRONMENTAL ANIMATION

VISUAL ARTS


we have many artists among our friends and we promote several activities about art.

OSSANEMA

home-made band that mixes several traditions, the southern Italian soul, the songwriter's intimacy, the oddity of eastern European rhythms and the groove of a flamenco guitar, for a unique "fringes" sound.


VIAGGIO IN SCUTARI (TRIP TO SHKODER)

Balkan music workshop that has flewn into the Spartiti per Scutari Orkestra. The repertoire is mainly Albanian, and it is the result of a research carried on 40 years ago by the ethno-musicologists Tonin Zadeja and Tonin Daija, but we also play music from several eastern-European traditions.
