'Ntuppatedde (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Many call them "the virgins" but they are a group, always higher, of performers who, during the celebrations in honor of the martyr Agata, want to claim the freedom to be women. They join the participants, explain to the curious who were originally 'ntuppatedde, when in the '800, to women who did not enjoy any freedom, was granted a sort of free exit during the two days of celebration and, completely covered by a black veil, they could devote themselves to a moment of frivolity, dancing and rejoicing through the streets of the center. The 'ntuppatedde today do not dress more than black, waving a red flower symbol of passion towards the party and life, spurring the woman, with timeless desire, to be mothers, wives, daughters free.
