THE PRATO MIDNIGHT RUN.
DESCRIPTION
The event - organized by CCT-SeeCity with CUT - Circuito Urbano Temporary and part of the "Prato Summer 2017" sponsored by the City of Prato - consists of a walk, from dusk to dawn, guided by creativity; a cultural journey that brings people and local artists to explore, play and create while the city sleeps; a temporary community that migrates into the urban sphere from 18.00 to 6.00. Prato (after Florence, Milan, Rome) is the fourth Italian city to host for the first time The MNR!
The route through the city provides most of the stops / activities (about every 15-20 minutes) in public places and outdoor but also inside some private spaces. The route will remain secret until the day of the event. 5 local artists (selected through an open call April 10 to 30) will be announced in mid-May.
Registrants will receive an email with all the details necessary to participate (place of departure, etc ...) within 24 hours before the start of the MNR.
