Following the 2025 theme, "What the Waves Say," this year Aqua arrives... On the Shore. It is precisely on the shore that the emotions shared by guests take shape, like light confidences carried by the sea. At the point where the sand touches the water and the sky is reflected in the waves, music, words, and stories blend with the breath of the sea, transforming the beach into a space for listening, wonder, and reflection. On the shore, opportunities for discussion arise about the present, the world of youth, the dreams and challenges of our time. Sounds, narratives, and dialogues intertwine with the natural environment, blending with the landscape and generating new insights, offering perspectives on the contemporary world and encouraging a more conscious look at our relationship with our surroundings. Each artist and each voice finds its own resonance here, while the audience becomes part of a shared, intense, and engaging experience, capable of transforming a simple moment into a memory and emotion. On the shore, the sea is not just a backdrop, but a living presence: it accompanies, reflects, and preserves the stories told and the thoughts that arise. Sitting on the sand, facing the water, we will welcome stories, music, and words, letting them intertwine with the sound of the waves. We recommend bringing a towel to sit on the beach; there are no seats. Program Thursday, June 11, 8:30 PM: Niccolò Fabi Entrance fee: €25 + booking fee The program is being updated.
