Synopsis
The Dance section of the Festival dei Due Mondi reaches one of its most significant moments in 2026 with the return of the International Dance Marathon, conceived by Alberto Testa and Vittoria Ottolenghi. An elegant meeting of talent and virtuosity brings to the stage some of the most celebrated stars of the international dance scene, including Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia in a tribute to Jerome Robbins, alongside Sergio Bernal, Maia Makateli, Daniil Simkin, Madoka Sugai, and Alessandro Frola.
Among the evening’s highlights is the world premiere of a striking new reinterpretation of The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinskij, created by Albert Hernández and Irene Tena of La Venidera together with Eduardo Martinez.
