The Theater Neighborhood

As part of our trip round the city of Expo we've reached the theater neighborhood. More specifically, called here: “[San Carlo Open Air Theater](http://www.expo2015.org/en/open-air-theater-san-carlo)”. Roma has its Colosseum, Milano its San Siro stadium… ...Expo has its open-air theater. And now we're here. The event's opening and closing ceremonies, four months of shows “[Allavita](http://www.expo2015.org/en/allavita--cirque-du-soleil-)!” by the Cirque du Soleil, a large number of other performances (musicals and otherwise). Without counting the series of breath-taking national pavilions overlooking the open arena. Three, two, one… ...ready, steady, go! This neighborhood was overseen by the Expo 2015 Social Media Team. All the photos are by Beatrice Bianchetti and Anna Chiara Maggiolini.

Morocco

Visiting the Morocco Pavilion means a visit that involves all the senses. Sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Sense design. Here perfectly portrayed. Inside the pavilion, particular attention is given to argan oil, [olive oil](http://www.veritavita.com/?blog=blogs/archive/2013/07/08/extra.virgin.olive.oil.from.morocco.discover.the.incredible.flavour.of.moroccan.olive.oil.aspx), [saffron](http://www.travel-exploration.com/subpage.cfm/Spices) and [honey](http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/04/travel/04foraging.html?_r=0). As a result, this is no banal display, but one that works intensely on aromas. Aromas that characterize the various legs of an extraordinary visit in which the different smells become the route to follow to avoid getting lost. Lastly, it's worth mentioning (we liked them a lot) the five doors (material and metaphorical) that mark the entrances to Morocco's different regions and around which the overall layout is arranged. The architecture recalls the Kasbah, while the exterior reproduces a typical Mediterranean garden, with olive trees, palms and orange trees. A pavilion that introduces visitors to the traditions of this bridge between the Mediterranean, the Ocean and Africa, thanks to this special sensory trip. Great!
