- Intimate, unexpected venues — concerts and performances spill into churches, private courtyards, vineyards and tiny village squares, so you’ll often watch world-class acts from just a few metres away; the settings make ordinary gigs feel like secret, once-in-a-lifetime moments.
- Cross-genre art mashups — folk, jazz, contemporary dance, experimental theatre and visual art intersect here; collaborations and site-specific pieces mean you’ll see traditions reinterpreted in fresh, sometimes weirdly brilliant ways.
