WADE is producing and presenting an itinerant dance and music festival in collaboration with the City of Agropoli. Titled “A Pilgrimage to the Water'', it will respond to the architecture of the city beginning at the Medieval Village (il Borgo Medievale) and ending at the seafront (Lungo Mare) over six (6) evenings spanning two (2) weeks, along the way inviting the audience to deepen one’s connection with the city and each other. Dance and music artists from the US, Canada, India, Singapore, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Switzerland will create evocative vignettes of longing, belonging, and growth immersing the community of Agropoli in a dreamscape environment. Each evening will be recorded and made available via a QR Code in the location of its premiere for the duration of the festival, for those who didn’t have an opportunity to view it live.
