After the 2025 edition’s theme: what do the waves say, this year Acqua lands…on the shore .

On the shore the hosts will gift us emotions, like small secrets pushed onshore by the waves. Here, where the sand meets the water and the sky is reflected by the waves, every note, every word and every story is intertwined with the rhythm of the sea, transforming the beach in a place of listening, amazement and thought.

On the shore we will reflect on the contemporary, on the young people’s world, on the challenges and wishes of our times. A dialogue between notes, stories and meetings and nature will take place, and all these elements will breathe alongside the landscape, light unexpected impressions and open a window on our present, stimulating thoughts about our relationship with the world.

Each artist and word will find here their echo, and those who listen will take part in a collective, delicate yet powerful movement, that will be able to transform a simple gesture into memory, emotion and amazement. On the shore, the sea is not only part of the landscape: it is an accomplice, a witness and a mirror of the stories that we share, of the thoughts that bloom and of the emotions that we take with us.
