A Heterogeneous Artistic Program
"We imagined for this edition - underline the directors Alfredo Balsamo and Vittorio Stasi - a truly important artistic program, designed for everyone, where theater meets dance and music approaches the circus, giving particular value to special projects that interact significantly with local communities."The common thread of the event is "knowing the past to understand the future".

Among the various shows, standouts include "Ivan and the Dogs" by Hattie Naylor, starring Federica Rosellini, and "The Marriage of Antigone" by Ascanio Celestini.

Dance and Music: A Bridge between Tradition and Innovation

"Save the Last Dance for Me" by Alessandro Sciarroni and a performance of Ovid's "Metamorphoses" directed by Andrea Baracco are just some of the scheduled shows. Major concerts will also be a key part of the festival, with artists such as Napoleone and Ebbanesis taking center stage.
