Santarcangelo Festival

It is the oldest Italian festival dedicated to the arts of the contemporary scene, and one of the most significant European events in the field of theater and dance.

In Santarcangelo di Romagna, from July 3 to 12, ten days of performances, concerts, installations, meetings, and workshops await you in the open-air spaces and other venues of the city.

Born as "Street Theater," the Festival is also a place for workshops, seminars and meetings, as well as innovative publishing projects.

Theaters, houses, gyms, tuff quarries, streets and squares will be the stage for many different performances and events. The aim is to recover the surprising effect of theatrical performance and to reconnect with the inhabitants of the city, also with reference to its ancient but still living origins.

Dance, music, theater, visual arts, performance, film and literature become, in an increasingly evident way, the "musical score" of the transdisciplinary performances that portray this year's festival, which, like a snapshot, defines the present time through the work of Italian and international artists, established and emerging, whose gaze is marked by the co-presence of expressive signs.
