Campania Teatro Festival is an international theatre festival that takes place every year in Naples and Campania Region during June and July. The event – realised with the support of Campania Region and organised by Fondazione Campania dei Festival – delivers performances, promotes writing for theatre and fosters local places, artists and professionalism, while helping to export the region’s cultural heritage around the world thanks to an extensive network of international collaborations.

After Renato Quaglia, Luca De Fusco and Franco Dragone, since 2017 Campania Teatro Festival – known as Napoli Teatro Festival Italia until 2020 – has seen its artistic direction being entrusted to writer, director and actor Ruggero Cappuccio, who launched an artistic project – traced through eleven sections – under the sign of multidisciplinarity: a programme open to innovative fronts of activity, such as the Observatory section of the Festival, and workshop initiatives on performing arts, which are containers capable of providing space and visibility for both young and adult people and supporting companies’ production costs.

Bringing arts together in an interdisciplinary vision: the collaboration with artist Mimmo Paladino, Festival’s image designer since 2017, should also be read in this sense, due to his ability to turn catalogues and promotional materials into true pieces of art. With the goal of representing an organism of social and cultural growth in the international panorama, Campania Teatro Festival favours the audience’ participation through a wise pricing policy: a maximum price of 8 € per ticket (with a reduced fee of 5€ for people under-30) and free admission for specific social categories.
