Becatalaiotica is an original cultural project of the Associació d'Amics del Museu de Menorca where five people between the ages of 18 and 28, after passing two previous selection phases, present an event or activity in different archaeological sites of Menorca.
The only requirement is to use Talayotic Menorca as a backdrop and source of inspiration. The winner receives a €2,000 scholarship, financed by the Consell Insular de Menorca and the Fundació Illes Balears.
This year there have been diverse, original and highly innovative proposals: the musical show by Miquel López; the performance of Adela Lafuente; the reading and analysis of an ancient poem by Carlos Martínez; and the two artistic landscape interventions by Maria Riera and Ariana Ruíz.
The audience has voted on each of these proposals, guided by the opinion and comments of a committee of experts in Menorcan culture formed by: Anna Gornés, cultural manager; Martí Andreu, landscape architect; Carmen Lara, archaeologist; Cecilia Ligero, restorer; Quim Pons, archaeologist; and Maria Cardona, tourist guide.
