2016 EDITION

Blue Festival! Again this year the event opens the season to summer festivals in Salento. The blue sky that characterizes this edition leads us to the blue of the night, which welcomes performers of international importance such as the Argentinean clown Rolando Rondinelli, the Englishman Mike Rollins, the circus-theatre of Duo-Kaos, and again... the reckless Sblattero. These are the stars of this second edition and prove the success of a festival that definitely marries the scenery of the historic centre of Nardò and that, exceptionally, becomes a "TRAVELLING FESTIVAL" with its autumn stages in the towns of Copertino, Campi Salentina and Manduria and sees the partnership with Sac "Arneo and Costa dei Ginepri". In the three autumn datesthe festival gives life to unique and magical evenings with special numbers by the I Girovaghi company, The Sprokets. This edition is enriched with the Secret Showa small sub-show of surprise performances hosted in private homes and courtyards, organised by the Garage Cultural Association. Children will find entertainment and recreational activities thanks to the puppet making workshop, organised by TestediLegno.
