Mercurio Festival is a multidisciplinary event held annually in Palermo, within the vibrant setting of the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa. Dedicated to contemporary creation, the festival offers a diverse program spanning theatre, dance, music, visual arts, and live performances, embracing an inclusive and dynamic vision of the performing arts. Its distinctive feature lies in a participatory curatorial model: artists from previous editions select new participants, fostering a constantly evolving creative network. Each year is shaped around a central theme that inspires artistic exploration and dialogue across disciplines. The revitalized industrial spaces of the former Ducrot factories become sites of experimentation, social exchange, and cultural reflection, welcoming both national and international artists. The festival attracts a diverse, intergenerational audience, engaging them in an immersive experience that blurs the line between performer and spectator. Today, Mercurio Festival stands as one of the most vibrant platforms for contemporary performing arts in Southern Italy, merging innovation, community, and urban transformation.
