The contemporary practice of the ritual of Mamuthones e Issohadores in Mamoiada is narrated through a multi-screen projection.

It is a moving account of the community spirit of Mamoiada, preparing new generations to pass down the myth of Mamuthones e Issohadores, which has become known across the globe.

During the twelve-minute screening, narrated by Bachisiu Bandinu, a scholar of Sardinian culture and language, you are caught up in a mysterious, engaging atmosphere as you meet the men who transform themselves, the artisans who carve the wood and children getting ready for the initiation ritual.
