AttraversaMenti Kiassosi Festival
Two days of theatre, dance, music, and contemporary art in a Maremma village
About AttraversaMenti Kiassosi
A widespread festival in the heart of Maremma
The AttraversaMenti Kiassosi Festival transforms the historic centre of Magliano in Toscana, in the province of Grosseto, into an open-air stage dedicated to the contemporary scene. Promoted by the young artist collective Officine Meraki ETS with the support of the Municipality of Magliano in Toscana and the Pro Loco, the festival was born from the idea of creating a lively and informal space for "crossing paths," where theatre, dance, music, and performing arts intertwine with the landscape and community of Maremma.
The spirit of the festival
The project unites three key concepts: listening to the territory, sustainability, and discovering young artists. The squares, gardens, and corners of the village become performance venues, while the audience is invited to move from one act to another in a free and curious journey. It is not just a simple review, but an immersive experience that brings together emerging professionals, research companies, and the local inhabitants.
What to expect
- Theatre marathons spread throughout the historic centre, featuring works-in-progress by emerging companies and artists.
- Shows for children and families, designed to engage all ages.
- Roaming and headphone-based performances that guide the spectator through the streets and the surrounding countryside.
- Contemporary dance and auteur theatre featuring nationally awarded artists.
- Social gatherings with food, local wine, and evening DJ sets.
Magliano in Toscana and Maremma
A medieval village surrounded by walls, ancient olive trees, and rolling hills, Magliano in Toscana is one of the jewels of the Grosseto Maremma. A few kilometres away lie the evocative ruins of the Abbey of San Bruzio, the site that hosted the project's first pilot experience. Participating in the festival also means discovering an authentic corner of Tuscany, far from the most crowded tourist routes, amidst nature, history, and hospitality.
Admission to all events is free; for some activities with limited capacity, booking is recommended.
AttraversaMenti Kiassosi — edition 2026
The first true edition of the festival, the 0 edition titled "Il Matto", brought two intense days of live performances to Magliano in Toscana. The programme alternated between offerings for families, theatre marathons with emerging companies, roaming and headphone-based performances, contemporary dance, and social moments with food and music. The bill was completed by the participatory narrative project "Radici sonore" (Sound Roots), created with local secondary school students and accessible on-site via QR code.
