gARTen<\/strong> summer festival returns for its seventh edition, once again transforming the Foundation\u2019s park into a large open-air stage.<\/span><\/p>

Over three evenings, the garden will come alive with spoken word, physical theatre, dance and music, as young artists transform its every corner into a vibrant stage. <\/span><\/p>

Beyond the performances, the festival offers a space for audiences to meet and connect. Interviews and artist talks hosted from Radio Morcote\u2019s live broadcast booth will offer fresh perspectives on the performances, while the food village will bring together a selection of local food trucks serving throughout the evening. The musical backdrop for each evening will be curated by DJ leMox. <\/span><\/p>

gARTen takes place at the Foundation\u2019s picturesque headquarters, unfolding across its varied natural and architectural spaces, from the park and inner courtyard to the portico of the 19th-century building and the plaza, with the surrounding woods providing a natural backdrop to the performances.<\/span><\/p>

For the second consecutive year, the festival is part of <\/span>MAPS \u2013 Artistic Goals for Sustainability.<\/span><\/i>, and supported by Interreg Italy-Switzerland. This cross-border project brings together cultural institutions to create artistic initiatives that promote social inclusion, cohesion, sustainable tourism, and active community participation. gARTen thus becomes a space for exchange and connection, where the performing arts help strengthen the bond between communities, culture, and the local area. <\/span><\/p>

Over the years, the festival has also fostered an ongoing dialogue with various artistic and educational institutions, developing collaborations that help broaden perspectives and create opportunities for interaction among artists, institutions, and the public. Alongside its well-established partnership with the Accademia Teatro Dimitri, the 2026 edition will launch a new collaboration with the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi in Milan. The festival also continues its partnership with Premio Schweiz, a Swiss network dedicated to promoting the performing arts. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
