Dance festival 2026
Overview
Intro
From May 6th to 10th, Festa Danzante (21st edition) celebrates spring with an explosion of color, bringing energy and joy to 44 cities across Switzerland.
Festa Danzante is a national event held simultaneously in 44 Swiss cities, offering the opportunity to discover dance in all its facets live and actively participate in the various programs. Through performances, workshops, and shows, Festa Danzante invites audiences of all ages to immerse themselves in an extraordinary experience dedicated to movement and artistic expression. In Ticino, Festa Danzante stands out for its role as co-producer, strengthening its network with local cultural institutions. Among the main projects are Sottovoce, directed by Camilla Guarino, the Compagnia Teatro Danzabile, and Orme…on the road 2026, in collaboration with the Hermann Hesse Museum: an experience that begins with a captivating PostBus ride, listening to an audio description of a choreography, and culminates in a performance that gives body and voice to the initial poetic listening.
