Tevere in Danza

Tevere in Danza 2026 — second edition

The festival grows and expands to two municipalities: Capena for the opening, inside the Art Forum Würth spaces, and Nazzano for the core of the program, from July 19 to 29. The artistic direction remains with Valerio Longo, who signs some of the creations on the bill and leads the workshops.

The declared guiding thread is cultural regeneration: three weekends where contemporary dance enters museums, caves, and the village's narrow streets, accompanied by photography exhibitions and a moving archive dedicated to the festival's history. The closing on July 29 is entrusted to the Temple Jazz Orchestra, which inaugurates its European tour in Nazzano.
