As everyone prepares for romantic candlelit dinners and perfect table settings, we think back to L’ADDITION: one table, one glass of wine, and a chaos of roles slipping, flipping, and collapsing into sharp British humour.

Love, power, and a splash of irony. All served messily, just how we like it.

It’s in the elegant cafè of the Parkhotel Laurin that we experienced an improvisational piano journey by Icelandic musician Davíð Þór Jónsson. Wrapped in the soft glow of dimmed lights and surrounded by comfy sofas, Þór Jónsson’s piano gently fills the space bringing that quiet and heartfelt gratitude that arrives with the holidays.

Remembering OCTY at NOI Techpark ⟡

23/10/2025

A work suspended between theater, music and imagination, that invites us to reflect on human heritage in the silence of space. Here are a few images of the unforgettable debut of La Mort de la Mer by in Ex-Masten in Bolzano. Twenty-one years after their debut and a few months after the release of their 8th album “Little Death Wishes”, sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady continue their journey with multidisciplinary poetic experimentation.

After ten unforgettable days of performances, we’ve reached the close of this special 25th anniversary edition of Transart Festival — and what a ride it’s been!

From theatres and museums to a mountain plateau and our iconic industrial spaces, we’ve explored the contemporary with extraordinary artists. None of this would have been possible without the performers, partners, our dedicated team, and all the passionate people behind the festival.

And of course — thank you.

Thank you for joining us on this journey through contemporary culture in all its forms, and for making this anniversary edition truly one to remember.

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
by Jos Baker, Linus Jansner and Carlo Diego Massari

A show that gets the audience involved from the very first step inside the theatre. An invitation to look inward, to search for meaning, discovering our selves even when it is dark and scary. A journey in the meta-theatre, with hypnotic dance moves of characters intertwining and switching. Falling, falling, falling to then (maybe) coming back up again.

In collaboration with Oriente Occidente

Thanks to Teatro Cristallo
