gARTen – theatre festival in the park

The gARTen summer festival returns for its seventh edition, transforming the park into an open-air stage. Three evenings dedicated to performing arts, including prose, physical theater, dance and music. Young male and female artists enliven every corner of the garden, offering an immersive experience, open to all who want to immerse themselves in a lively summer atmosphere between theater and sociability. Interviews and talks, broadcast live from the live location of Radio Morcote, enrich each evening, offering new looks at the performances.To make each day of the festival even more enjoyable, the food village welcomes local food trucks, while DJ leMox accompanies us with his music, creating the perfect atmosphere. The festival takes place in the evocative setting of the Foundation, enhancing its natural and architectural spaces: the park, the inner courtyard garden, the arcade of the 19th-century building, and the square, with the small nymphaeum and the forest as a backdrop.

THE PROGRAM

The opening night is dedicated to the alumni and alumnae of the Dimitri Theater Academy, who bring to the stage performances with a strong emotional and visual impact. Through different languages – nonverbal theater, dance, music, acrobatics and juggling – the artists invite us to question our daily lives.

During the festival, we will also host Meta Terra, an attempt to imagine and map out a sustainable future starting from our present. On stage, Lucilla Giagnoni and the participants of the theatre workshops at the Nuovo Teatro Faraggiana in Novara share their stories, creating narrative maps that open up new possibilities for our planet. Additional performances are currently being finalized.
