Recognised by the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Puglia Multidisciplinary Regional Circuit brings together 75 member municipalities alongside the Puglia Region. Through a network of more than 100 theatres and venues, the Circuit curates and organises approximately 80 seasons and festivals each year, presenting around 800 performances and engaging over 180,000 spectators annually. Today, it stands as one of the leading regional circuits in Italy.
Since its foundation in 1979, the Circuit has been committed to the distribution, promotion and audience development of theatre, contemporary dance, music, contemporary circus, and theatre for children and families. Its activities have consistently broadened access to culture, reaching audiences whoare not traditionally engaged in live performance.

Alongside its programming activities, the Circuit implements a significant audience development and education strategy through a variety of projects. The aim is to engage a broader Apulian audience, not only in terms of numbers but also interms of awareness and quality—reaching communities that might otherwise face economic, social, psychological, or physical barriers. Season after season, these initiatives are expanded and enriched, including theatre workshops in suburban areas, educational programmes in schools, targeted activities at universities, ticket discounts, and partnership agreements.
In this blog, you’ll find interviews, presentations, and reviews of performances presented in Bari and nearby cities as part of the Puglia Culture Circuit seasons.

The workshop focuses on observation, analysis,and critical reflection on the theatre and dance of today.
