Wild herbs, flowers, and fresh vegetables are the stars of a menu that celebrates seasonality and biodiversity, telling the story of an ecosystem that regenerates itself and generously offers its best. Each dish becomes an homage to nature a tribute to its beauty and balance.

Third Edition
8albe is a contemporary art festival based in Eastern Sicily, named in homage to the precious natural site surrounding this biodiverse region.
The project is fully supported by Dimora delle Balze.
In this third edition, art guides us through times of profound transformation. From mythical beginnings to melancholic laments, from ancient spiritual traditions to cosmic tales, the films of “Tramonti: Cosmogonies and Endings of Worlds” imagine the emergence and resilience of lives and knowledge through endings and new beginnings. Rather than offering utopian or apocalyptic visions, these films create a space for building new worlds with tenderness, while engaging in the labor of letting go.
The third edition unfolds across four programs, titled “How We Ended,” “How We Began,” “How We Ended,” and again “How We Began.” These repetitions and starting from the end are intentional, reflecting the festival’s overall proposal: to highlight the metabolic process of Earth’s transformation and renewal. Across the four screenings, the films reflect on the world as an organization of forms, lives, spaces, and knowledge all of which are always, necessarily, temporary.
