Incanto a Sud del Mare

An open-air theatre show in the heart of Salento

Incanto a Sud del Mare is an original theatrical performance created and presented by the Euterpe group in Guardiola, the marina of Corsano, in the province of Lecce. We are in the far south of Puglia, in the Capo di Leuca, where the Corsano landscape meets the Adriatic with its dramatic cliffs and deep ravines. It is here, in one of the most scenic corners of lower Salento, that this evening of community-focused popular theatre comes to life.

The Euterpe Group

The production is the work of the Euterpe group, a local artistic association that has crafted an original show specifically for this event. The title itself, Incanto a Sud del Mare (Enchantment South of the Sea), reflects the spirit of the location: the magic of the Salento coast at dusk, when the marina of Guardiola becomes a natural stage backdrop. The show follows the tradition of open-air theatre that enlivens the summers of the small towns in the Capo di Leuca, where squares, courtyards, and seaside spots are transformed into open-air stages.

Location: Guardiola di Corsano

The marina of Guardiola is the coastal district of Corsano, a town in the extreme south of Salento in the province of Lecce, Puglia. Known for its cliffs plunging into the sea and the wild charm of the Adriatic coast, Guardiola is a beloved destination for the Salento summer. Hosting the performance in this setting, right by the sea, creates an experience that combines the enchantment of the landscape with the power of live theatre.

A highlight of the Corsano summer

The evening is part of the Corsano summer events calendar, built each year through the collective work of local associations, groups, artists, and volunteers who bring the town's squares and landmarks to life. The Euterpe group's show represents the theatrical core of this programme, bringing live storytelling and performance to an audience of both residents and holidaymakers.
