Terreni Fertili Festival

'Points Lines and Special Characters'

The 2025 edition of Terreni Fertili Festival took place from May 24 to July 27 at the Teatro Sociale of Gualtieri, in the province of Reggio Emilia. The theme, 'Points Lines and Special Characters', imagined existence as a cartographic system: points as physical and metaphysical places traversed, lines as choices and journeys, special characters as symbols that give meaning.

With approximately 27 events including theatre, dance, music, and performances, the festival brought together artists such as Davide Enia, Alessandro Sciarroni, and Francesca Foscarini, alongside international guests and the Direction Under 30 section dedicated to young directors. A map of signs and relationships that confirmed Gualtieri as a laboratory for contemporary performance in Emilia-Romagna.
