4 OCT – 22 NOV 2025
FAROUT Live Arts Festival
Making Kin
WELCOME TO FAROUT 2025
From 4 October to 22 November: six weeks of performances, exhibitions, and encounters. A festival that transforms the stage and the city into an affective ecosystem of sound, bodies, and thought.
The theme this year is Making Kin, as radical imagination.
A call to weave new relationships, to care, to disrupt isolation, to rewrite “we.” It is a poetic act—utopian in the most practical sense: inventing livable practices for unlivable times.
50 DAYS OF
PERFORMANCE & COLLECTIVE ACTIONS
from 4 October to 22 November
An immersive program filling BASE with shows, exhibitions, installations, participatory moments and collective reflections. A constellation of diverse artistic voices explores the festival’s themes with radically different languages and perspectives. A porous, transforming space—open to presence and to the creation of new sensitive horizons.

BETWEEN BASE
AND THE CITY
Milan becomes an open, evolving field of performance—where art sparks encounters and proximity becomes the first gesture in imagining new alliances. FAROUT continues to extend into the city with site‑specific projects from Giambellino to Barona, Porta Genova through transforming neighborhoods—rewriting the relationship between art and public space.
FAROUT’s city‑wide events are part of CAVALCAVIA, produced with support from Milan Municipality as part of Milano è Viva nei Quartieri.
