Edition 2025 — Vernacular Festival
The 2025 Vernacular Theatre Festival confirmed the Municipality of Andria's commitment to protecting and promoting the Andrian dialect through popular theatre. The performances, hosted at the Mons. Di Donna Auditorium, featured local amateur companies selected through a public notice of interest aimed at local theatre groups.
The edition was dedicated to Mimì Ieva, an Andrian citizen remembered for his dedication as a scholar and expert on the dialect: through his collection of words gathered by interviewing fellow citizens, he bequeathed to the city a precious heritage of poetic suggestions and collective memory. Once again, admission to the performances was free, confirming the popular and community-oriented nature of the festival.
Programme
The 2025 programme brought together dialect theatre companies from Andria at the Mons. Di Donna Auditorium, selected through the municipal call for interest, with a series of vernacular comedies. The edition was dedicated to the memory of Mimì Ieva, a scholar of the local dialect.
