From May 2 to July 27, 2025, MAGMA presents the sixth edition of ELEMENTI, the acclaimed itinerant festival of music, performance, and contemporary visual arts. Launched in 2020, ELEMENTI aims to create immersive, site-specific experiences in emotionally powerful natural landscapes throughout the Romagna region, offering a unique fusion of art and environment.
This year, ELEMENTI invites audiences once again to discover breathtaking outdoor stages in Ravenna, Cervia, Bagnacavallo, Faenza, and Bagnara di Romagna. Each low-environmental-impact event highlights the natural characteristics of its location. The 2025 program features 12 site-specific performances spread over 7 days, confirming ELEMENTI’s interdisciplinary approach to multisensory contemporary art dissemination.
The festival opens on Friday, May 2, at the MAR – Museum of Art of Ravenna, with Ima Koko Watashi, an improvisational dance and sound performance featuring dancers Chikako Kaido, Kristin Shuster, Antonio Stella, and percussionists Enrico Malatesta and Le Quan Ninh.
