A new Romaeuropa Festival approaches. Here is what the 2026 edition of the review will be like

Si avvicina un nuovo Romaeuropa Festival. Ecco come sarà l’edizione 2026 della rassegna

The 41st edition of the Romaeuropa Festival has announced its 2026 lineup, scheduled to run from September 8 to November 15 across various venues in Rome. Under the artistic direction of Fabrizio Grifasi, the multidisciplinary festival will feature a robust program of contemporary dance, theater, and music. Highlights include the Italian premiere of Sofia Nappi’s 'Chora', a world premiere of Romeo Castellucci’s 'Faust', and a special celebration of the Rome-Paris twinning anniversary featuring choreographer Benjamin Millepied.

As one of Italy's most significant cultural events, the festival serves as a critical platform for international dialogue and contemporary experimentation. By hosting world-renowned figures like Sasha Waltz and Wim Vandekeybus alongside emerging digital creators, the 2026 edition reinforces Rome's position as a hub for the performing arts and fosters collaboration between historic institutions and modern avant-garde movements.
