Milon Mela performing arts company from India are at OZU arts centre in rural Italy in summer 2010.  An intensive residential workshop with 19 artists, musicians, dancers on body and voice is offered. Milon Mela come from India and every summer they give a small but rich and delicious taste of the traditional performing arts of their country. Baul, Gotipua, Chau, Kalaripayattu are just some of the ancient disciplines that are presented in their shows. Moreover, the workshops, seminars and meetings Milon Mela offer, are meant to explain, to make people understand that what they tell is not just folklore, beautiful colour and entertainment: it is something more, it is a ritual expression of the soul, an old tradition that is in a risk to vanish and that the "Source’s research" project is proudly and courageously preserving. Milon Mela are in Ozu, Monteleone Sabino, until early September. In this small and lost corner of Italy they tell their story in a language that needs no words. During the summer OZU proposes a series of activities with Milon Mela.
