26th Kalamata International Dance Festival is still on, with new dates! With the safety of the artists and the spectators in mind, but without losing its character, it will take place for another year with world known and emerging artists of the international dance scene from the 21st to the 30th of August 2020.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, the Municipality of Kalamata, PHARIS and all the artists, we will present with safety a Festival adapted to the present circumstances but keeping its unique character and energy and most of all, its respect and support to dancing.

21 international and Greek productions taking place in open spaces of the city of Kalamata.

In the midst of a wider historical occasion, this year’s Festival hosts daring artists who present their work, in an attempt to talk about an aspiration for change and a revision of our relationship with Mother Nature, the Self and the Other.
