Dialettando

The Hercules Theatre in Catanzaro, directed by Piero Procopio, returns to being the beating heart of popular theatre with the 17th edition of 'Dialettando', the festival that has been promoting the culture and linguistic roots of Calabria and Southern Italy for over ten years.

From 26 October 2025 to 16 May 2026, audiences will be able to enjoy a rich programme of eight shows that recount the heritage of dialect theatre with irony, intensity and authenticity. The events on the calendar are:

• Stessa Spiaggia, Stesso Mare (Same Beach, Same Sea)
• Volpi e Galline (Foxes and Hens)
• I Menecmi (The Menecmi)
• Ed il sommo poeta disse a me?!? (And the great poet said to me?!?)
• A Finestra (At the Window)
• La famiglia Stranamore (The Stranamore Family)
• I tre disperati (The Three Desperate Men)
• Non è mai troppo tardi (It's Never Too Late)

Each performance will begin at 6:00 p.m., offering moments of great entertainment and reflection, in the spirit of tradition but with a lively and contemporary perspective.
