Dear friends

upRisingUp Festival in Ostuni is happening again this year. Reiterating, we hope and wish everyone renewal, innovation, and evolution: RE-EVOLUTIONS.

Thoughtful patient evolutions that allow time for thought to mature and thus generate new forms. In this moment of lacerating superficiality and haste, it seems necessary to remind us that we are destined to transform into what and how will depend on what we want to make of ourselves.

This 6th edition of the Festival confirms our desire to be a place that welcomes artists who have space and time to continue developing their poetics without pressure other than that dictated by their creative impulse and where the audience can participate as an integral part of this process of sophisticated communication that offer performative arts.

RE-EVOLUTIONS, from 7 to 11 July, will host 26 artists with new and revisited creations that the public has already enjoyed, poetics that have continued to grow, evolve, transform, and mature over a year.

On July 7, the Festival will open with two photographic exhibitions dedicated to the poetry of the body in motion and with the performance Night of Birds – an itinerant and dreamlike adventure between sunset and nightfall. Evenings with dance performances and workshops for adults, children, families, artists, enthusiasts, and the curious will follow.

On July 11, we will close by sharing the creative research woven with love during a year of work by the participants of the workshop The Language of the Living Body and, as by tradition, with a final party!

Invite your friends, bring your relatives. Spread the word. The shows are free to members of the Wayfarer’s Root. Workshops cost $20.

To participate, let us know in time with a simple WhatsApp message to the number 3468929955.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
