Altofest is a pioneering "human-specific" project that has been reimagining the relationship between performing art and everyday life. Founded in Naples in 2011, Altofest is a festival held in people's homes. This award-winning project transforms everyday spaces into places of encounter and extraordinary experiences, connecting art and everyday life through the principles of gift and hospitality.

In this 2026 Special Edition, programmed for the European Capital of Culture, we invite the citizens of Trenčín to host international artists in their homes for two weeks, transforming domestic spaces into a stage for art and dialogue. All the houses are then open to the audience, who move from house to house, discovering art in the most unexpected and familiar corners of their own city.
