The Story...

 

 

Once upon a time in a world where details matter, down there, in a land far away where opportunities and possibilities are the foundation of living, down there where it is only impossible if you believe it is, the fierce lady of the night, Cat Sphinges was as always on the look for Secret Places.

One day Cat came to a fork in the road and saw this magical place opening itself right in front of her.

 

“Oh well, I found my way to where the fall of night is whispering songs in secret places.

 

 

A place, where sun and moon meet….” , she said.

 

The sun was shining on the sea, the moon was shining sulkily, the water was wet as wet could be, the gras was green as green. In a Wonderland she found herself…

 

“Down here, I will create a world of my own, nothing will be what it is, because everything will be what it isn’t... And I will call this world of my own the Secret Places Festival…”

 

She smelled the sweetness of the blossoms and her imagination was her only weapon in the war against reality. She saw what is and not what was missing and went on dreaming forever about her Secret Places Festival forever as the day went by.

 

It was the Rabbit, trotting slowly and looking anxiously about as it went, as if it had lost something Cat heard it muttering to itself,

 

“Not all who wander are lost… !'

 

As the Rabbit came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, “If you please, sir- Could you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Rabbit

 

”This here is a place, like no place on earth, a land full of wonder, mystery, music and magic. A Secret Place”, she answered filled with love.

 

“Down here, I will create a world of my own, the Secret Places Festival. And I would love to invite all those truly seeing even the young ones, to join me down here. To enjoy the bands, the singer-songwriters, the poets, the performances, the art, the food and the drinks. To be dazzled, to be amazed to feel this little sniff of Nightscapes magic that will be my world…”

 

Cat followed the Rabbit and discovered this place even more magical than she could have ever had imagined… And all she could think of was being able to share this….

 

“The time has come, find me down here at my Secret Places… You will not be the same as you were before…“
