Mark the dates of the 23rd edition of the festival on your agenda
From 30 October to 8 November 2025, we meet in Bologna to cross together a new territory of forms, languages and connections.
An edition that crosses the theme of change as fertile ground to explore, between dance, cinema, literature and encounters.
In September and October, the community dance workshops are also back, open to anyone who wants to get involved, even if they don’t have any experience. The projects will end with a collective performance and the calls will open before the summer: we’ll tell you everything soon!
In the meantime, please note the dates: 30 October – 8 November.
We look forward to seeing you!
