From 17 October to 12 December 2025, Calabria will once again be a major stage for contemporary dance with the ninth edition of Ramifications Festival, a landmark event in southern Italy dedicated to contemporary dance.
Conceived and produced by the Italìa & Co Association under the artistic direction of Filippo Stabile, the festival is recognised by the Ministry of Culture and transforms the region into a widespread creative laboratory every year. The 2025 edition revolves around the theme 'Kronos', a reflection on time as a human and symbolic dimension, through the universal language of the body and movement.
