Edition 2025 — Eccentrica

The 4th edition of Eccentrica took place from August 23 to 29, 2025, in Largo San Leone Magno, Castellana Grotte. Seven nights of open-air amateur theatre, with free admission and reserved seating, featured local companies and guests from outside the region. The programme ranged from Pirandello classics to Don Quixote, as well as comedies by local Castellana groups, all preceded each evening by the 'Behind the Scenes' event.

Eccentrica 2025, the 4th edition

From August 23 to 29, 2025, Castellana Grotte hosted the fourth edition of Eccentrica in Largo San Leone Magno. It was an edition of growth: for the first time, alongside local companies, the festival welcomed groups from outside the region, confirming its vocation to expand like the stalactite that gives it its name.

Every evening, from 8:00 PM, the Behind the Scenes segment introduced the companies and their shows to the public, before the performances began at 9:00 PM. Admission was free with reserved seating, in a historic centre enlivened by weeks of events as part of Piazze d'Estate. The artistic direction was curated by the Gruppo Teatrale Amici Nostri APS with the Municipality of Castellana Grotte.
