Turin's Dance Scene: Interplay and Torinodanza Festivals 2025
In 2025, Turin will be the venue for two significant contemporary dance festivals: Interplay, running from May 28 to June 14, with an additional event on July 15, and Torinodanza, scheduled from September 5 to October 5. Interplay, which marks its 25th edition and is curated by Mosaico Danza under the direction of Natalia Casorati, highlights new talents and features artists like Wayne McGregor, Akram Khan, and Abbondanza/Bertoni. Torinodanza, directed by Anna Cremonini and organized by Teatro Stabile di Torino, will showcase 32 performances, including the world premiere of "Delay the Sadness" by Sharon Eyal. Notable international artists such as Ioannis Mandafounis and Rambert will participate, alongside Italian groups like MM Contemporary Dance Company and Daniele Ninarello. Turin is also vying to host the 2026 NID Platform, Italy's national dance event.
