Giornate del Respiro - Days of Breath 2027

Giornate del Respiro – Days of Breath is a contemporary performing arts festival organised by Sardegna Teatro in Sardinia, Italy. Bringing together theatre, dance, music and interdisciplinary practices, it creates a space where artistic research meets the life of communities and the environments they inhabit.

Breathing is the festival’s guiding image: an essential act that connects us to one another and to the world we share. Through this perspective, Giornate del Respiro explores the relationships between bodies, places and ecosystems, opening up questions about coexistence, vulnerability and collective responsibility. 

The festival brings Italian and international artists into dialogue with local audiences, welcoming different artistic languages and perspectives. Its approach encourages experimentation and encounters across disciplines, with an interest in practices that rethink the relationship between performers and spectators.

Rooted in Sardinia and open to international exchange, Giornate del Respiro conceives of the festival as a place for shared experience, curiosity and reflection. Artistic work becomes an invitation to pause, listen and imagine new ways of inhabiting the present together.
