I labirinti nell'erba
"Turf è uno strato superficiale
del suolo coperto di erbe sottili che, opportunamente tosate, disegnano
un percorso, un turf-maze, un labirinto su erba, che trova in Inghilterra
il suo regno.
[...] la tradizione - che alcuni fanno risalire all'età del ferro,
ma è comunque molto antica - conobbe ampia diffusione nel basso
medioevo.
Dal punto di vista formale, tranne poche eccezioni, la pianta di quelli
a noi giunti s'inserisce nel contesto cristiano.
Ma se il tracciato di molti di essi, probabilmente in seguito alla cristianizzazione,
trae ispirazione da quello delle cattedrali e riprende in
maniera evidente quelli di Chartres e di Reims sia per forma che per dimensioni,
la tecnica di realizzo ha peculiarità originali che i chierici
inglesi addetti alla loro realizzazione sostenevano appartenere a una
tradizione assai più lontana.
I labirinti erbosi di tipo cretese-pagano sembrano infatti essere testimonianza
di usi precedenti sopravvissuti nel medioevo e ai quali la chiesa, con
un certo successo, tentò di sovrapporsi.
La lunga tradizione dei mazes trova avallo nella loro connessione topografica
con insediamenti molto antichi e conferma nelle denominazioni, sicuramente
non cristiane, che vengono loro attribuite: Walls de Troy, Troy Town,
Caerdroia, da cui presero il nome tornei che vedevano cavalieri armati
impegnati a percorrere il tracciato erboso e ad affrontarsi allo scopo
di raggiungere il centro per primi.
Probabilmente il loro ruolo fu quello di scenario di riti e usanze primaverili
il cui significato religioso via via declinò in una innocua festa
popolare per andare infine perduto, di conseguenza molti mazes vennero
distrutti o abbandonati."
Testo tratto dal libro "Dentro
e fuori il labirinto. La grande saga del labirinto fra pietre, arte e
giardini"
di Francesca Romana Lepore, Idea Libri
