Grand Tour Cultura 2024 - 9th edition

Description

The traditional appointment of the Grand Tour Cultura returns, with a series of initiatives to tell the story of our cultural Heritage. The festival is promoted by the Marche Region's Culture Department and the Marche Cultura Foundation, in collaboration with MAB Marche (the Marche Region's coordination of Museums, Archives and Libraries promoted by ICOM, ANAI and AIB), AMAT and Consorzio Marche Spettacolo.
This year the initiative is entitled Le Marche, a land of Theatres. A journey to discover the large network of historical theatres in the region; therefore, from 1st November to 8th December, all the Theatres, Museums, Archives and Libraries in Le Marche will offer the public initiatives dedicated to the Theatre, such as openings of theatres and historical curtains, theatre-themed tours in cultural institutions, theatre, music and dance performances also in other cultural venues, presentations, exhibitions, projections, opening of warehouses or technical departments, in-depth studies on the great Marche people connected to theatrical activity (composers, musicians, set designers, dancers, etc.), collaborations with theatre professionals, and anything else that is wonderful to tell about our historical theatres in Le Marche and their sector.
We therefore invite you to participate in this journey throughout the region.
