Alto Fest emancipates itself from the function of mere “programming” and/or “production” of shows and artworks, as festivals are usually considered, to prefigure itself as a space for an experimental sociality. In this way the city becomes the home for innovative and shared art practices, for artists who are “full of life” and brave citizens.

Alto Fest questions about the need to create new values, to radically reshape the relationship with the places, subverting the use of space and assignment of fixed roles, daring never tempted incursions (of discipline, responsibility, action).

Altofest - International Contemporary Live Arts Festival - from 2011 gathers together a growing community of international artists, citizens of Naples and creators of thinking. From the fifth edition, we added experts working in the field of culture (curators, producers), welcomed this year thanks to the support of the International Airport of Naples and to the dialogue with Creactivitas.

The Festival is built with the citizens of Naples who host the works of international artists in their houses and/or private spaces (apartments, terraces, basements, courtyards, whole buildings, artisan shops…). The process is built by experimenting with innovative poetics and aiming to the involvement of places, and with them the system of relationships that are hosted by the places themselves.

The program of the festival welcomes all the expressions of contemporary art, hosting interdisciplinary projects, originated by the dialogue among artists experimenting with original synergies and hybrid praxis. Today their presence makes ALTO FEST a crossroads of diversified languages and experimental aesthetics.

Performers, researchers, art and thought practitioners, single or collective artists. Amateur groups are excluded.

Selected artists can apply with ended works, to re-qualify their works in relation with the spaces of the festival, without technical supports that are not compatible with the assigned space.

The works have to be finished and debuted.

The Artistic Direction will compose the Program. The decisions of the Artistic Direction are unquestionable.
