Take a look at the Entre el cel i la mar premiere in Montefí, Ciutadella. The show was produced by the Talayotic Menorca Agency and the company iluminaM. This light and music event is another one of the actions carried out by the Department of Cultural Affairs, Youth, Education and Sports to continue the dissemination of Talayotic Menorca among the general public, emphasizing that next September the the World Heritage Committee will decide about its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The show will cover the genesis and evolution of the Menorcan Talayotic culture, from the mid-Bronze Age to its decline with the Roman occupation of the island (123 BC), ending with the historical legacy that currently survives. It is the story of an exceptional prehistoric civilization that developed in this island territory trapped between the sky and the sea, forever marking the landscape of our island with its monumental buildings.
In this sense, the title chosen, meaning “Between the sky and the sea", refers to the candidacy’s file, given that Menorca Talayotica also provides exceptional testimony of an insular prehistoric culture associated with the sky. Certain monuments allow us to illustrate the vigorous relationship they had with the skyscape. Such is the case of the funerary navetas and the taulas, which show unique orientation patterns that distinguish the Talayotic people from other contemporary cultures with similar characteristics. It is the odyssey of an insular culture trapped between the sky and the sea.
