From August 3–9, 2026, the 27th edition of the Festival dei Tacchi returns as one of Sardinia's most enchanting cultural events. Created by Cada Die Teatro, the festival transforms the striking Tacchi cliffs of Ogliastra, between Jerzu and Ulassai, into extraordinary open-air stages where the landscape becomes the protagonist of a unique theatrical experience. Against this breathtaking backdrop, theatre, literature, and education intertwine in a rich and varied programme that attracts artists from across Italy. With over 30 artists and more than 21 performances, the Festival dei Tacchi offers a complete and immersive cultural experience. The programme features high-quality theatrical productions, specialized creative workshops (physical theatre, dramatic writing, interpretive techniques), meetings with authors and playwrights, innovative performances, and literary readings. Each production is designed to highlight the territory and foster authentic dialogue between artists and audiences.
