The focus of the lecture will be on the multi-faceted causes and consequences of drastic climate changes. To what extent and in which direction do accelerated climate changes affect contemporary civilization, and what can (and must) we as humanity do to ensure a sustainable future for the human species?

Classical music concert at sunset

Like most settlements along the Mediterranean coast, Tivat as a city began to develop in its hinterland, on the slopes of Vrmac, where its inhabitants, mainly farmers, maintained their farms and served as laborers on the estates of Boka Bay nobility, where the modern city of Tivat now stands.

For their patron saints, the first inhabitants of Tivat celebrated St. Srđ, then St. Šimun, until the 18th century when St. Anthony of Padua became their protector. The Church of St. Anthony in Tivat was completed on March 29, 1734, at the Perovo site. The consecration and blessing of the Church of St. Anthony took place on July 11 of the same year. With the first Mass held on November 8, to commemorate the death of some prominent people from Kotor, St. Anthony became the saint of all citizens of Tivat.

Wind Fest, as a sustainable development festival with the idea of connecting the past, present, space, and energy, this year prepares one of the classical music experiences precisely on the plateau of the Church of St. Anthony, which offers a stunning view of the city.

At the end of the day, after the church bells, the young Tivat vocal artist Dora Štampić will perform the aria “Ave Maria” accompanied by piano professor Nikola Bučković, and the evening will continue with a concert by the saxophone quartet from the class of Professor Goran Turkalj.

The saxophone quartet “Quattro Stagione” consists of students Vojislav Markovic, Adrian Gebauer, Teodora Bozovic, and Filip Kovacevic. The quartet performs a wide range of compositions at a high level. Their repertoire includes not only classical music but also evergreen, jazz, film, modern, funk, and R&B music.

Theater Play: ’Roko and Cicibela’

Roko and Cicibela is a typical Mediterranean play that can be called a love melodrama with elements of folk comedy. This bittersweet and sour fairy tale duodrama comes from the pen of the legendary Split humorist Miljenko Smoje, although the true story of the love between two poor Split residents, Roko and Cicibela, has been recorded in the verses and stories of many. Perhaps it has resonated with us, the Adriatic Mediterraneans, most through the lyrics of Zdenko Runjić’s anthological song “Ća je život vengo fantažija.”

The play Roko and Cicibela, brought to Tivat by the Kazališna družina Ritam, was created as a graduation project of acting master Ivan Baranović and was first performed on the stage of the Art Academy in Split under the mentorship of Professor Milan Štrljić. Since 2019, it has been included in the permanent repertoire of Ritam igre and has been performed more than 50 times, with the guest performance in Tivat as the latest addition.

The play dynamically depicts all stages of Roko and Cicibela’s love relationship in an hour: from meeting in poverty and destitution to the proposal, Cicibela’s pregnancy, and their shared dreaming of a better future. Colloquially, we can call the play a love fairy tale and an ode to life, which is beautiful if you have the love of your life beside you.

Educational lecture: The disappearing cultural landscapes of Boka Bay in archaeological research (Miloš Petričević & Jelena Čelebić)

Climate change and anthropogenic influence are irreversibly destroying the archaeological record on land and underwater. The disappearance of archaeological landscapes, which hold answers to important questions about our past, represents a permanent loss for science and cultural heritage in general. The loss of character, uniqueness, and authenticity of landscapes has irreversibly disrupted the connection in creating and shaping the spatial identity of communities and individuals.

Only by understanding the causes and consequences of the interaction between humans and the environment can create an effective system of their integral protection. Therefore, the identification and preservation of hidden and lost archaeological landscapes are imposed as an obligation of modern society.

While a doctoral student on the topic of “Archaeological site of Lustica and Grbalj” will talk about the archaeological site of the Boka Bay, the tireless archaeologist Miloš B. Petričević and his colleague, archaeologist focused primarily on the research of coastal cultural landscapes, Jelena Čelebić, will focus their presentation on lost coastal cultural landscapes, whose disappearance is reflected in the loss of valuable artifacts of the past, as well as in the disappearance of skills that built them.

“Man in the landscape, landscape in man” is what best describes every coastal cultural region. Rapid and unfortunately drastic changes in the landscape of the Boka Bay and the entire coast, caused by haphazard, unplanned, and megalomaniacal construction, have largely affected not only crafts and the economy but also the overall perception of the sea.

Coastal or maritime cultural landscapes are defined by material and immaterial remains that testify to the predominantly coastal life of people. The goal of the concept of coastal cultural landscapes is to offer an approach to studying the sea and the coast through the engagement of various disciplines, including not only archaeology, history, social anthropology, ethnology, and language, but also other natural sciences such as geology and geomorphology.

Those who want to socialize and dance should come and join the fun.

The performances of the mentioned DJs will be complemented by visual effects prepared by international artist DVJ Shimbo, who “colored” last year’s performance of Darko Rundek and the Crew, which opened the first edition of the Wind Fest at Pine last year.

Movie ‘Soul of nature’ by Slavko Klikovac

Following a one-year natural cycle, the author presents a metaphorical relationship between the elements and the inner states of a person, as well as their interconnections.

The film opens with the shot of the “Gates of Desires,” which we continue to follow through heart-shaped forms, eventually emanating that desire with the final shot that connects us to the Cosmos.
