Until 28 Nov 2004. Romes most avant-garde festival is back to fill the dull autumn months with events us Romans would otherwise never get to see. As usual, a few old favourites like Bill T. Jones, the Societas Raffaello Sanzio and Akram Khan are certain crowd pleasers in addition to the unusual delights for the more daring, such as prose with Ping Chong, dance with Emio Greco and the electronic music scene. Right from the beginning, the festival propelled and organised by the French Academy, has made the choice of multi-medial events and cross influence between the arts its rule of thumb. There are various venues and tickets with a variety of prices and discounts. Book well in advance as the festival is very popular.
