Festival d’autunno Returns to Maison des Artistes Bard for Second Weekend
Following a successful opening weekend, the Maison des Artistes Bard (MAB) is preparing for the second installment of its autumn festival across the weekend of October 31 and November 1, valledaostaglocal.it reported. The initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Bard, curated by the Palinodie theater company, and supported by the Ministry of Tourism under FUNT 2026. The program aims to boost sustainable, experiential cultural tourism that operates independently of traditional seasonal peaks.
Concert and Yoga Open the Autumn Schedule
The weekend lineup begins Saturday, October 31, at 21:00 at the MAB theater with a performance by the Kaserne duo. Guitarist Alessandra Novaga and baroque violinist Laura Corolla will perform Stefano Pilia’s composition Tétlathi dé, kradíe, a work written to blend the distinct sonic identities of electric guitar and baroque violin.
On Sunday, November 1, at 11:00, instructor Jasmine Meynet will lead a morning yoga practice inside the theater. Attendees are advised to bring their own mats.
