At Faro Festival 2026: Hofesh Shechter Company's "In The Brain" tonight at Molo San Vincenzo

Second day of the Al Faro Festival 2026, the event curated by Laura Valente for the City of Naples, transforming the Molo San Vincenzo into an open-air stage. Wednesday, July 29, 2026, features "In The Brain," a site-specific contemporary dance performance by Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter.

The dancers who take to the stage are Shechter II, the young company of the Hofesh Shechter Company, one of the most innovative in the international dance scene. “In The Brain” is an original choreographic and musical work created specifically for the Al Faro Festival.

The festival, now in its second year, offers six days of free performances from July 28th to August 2nd, all themed around the Mediterranean and the sea. After last year's debut with artists such as Eugenio Bennato and Vinicio Capossela, the 2026 edition focuses on a multidisciplinary program spanning dance, theater, music, and the visual arts.

Reservations are required to attend the show, which can be made through the official channels of the City of Naples. The Molo San Vincenzo, with the Naples Lighthouse as its backdrop, offers a breathtaking location overlooking the Gulf.

The festival will continue in the following days with events such as “Sirene” with Donatella Di Pietrantonio (30 July), the concert-recital “Viento” with Canio Loguercio (31 July) and “Jesce sole”, the dawn concert on 2 August.
