Ravenna, 19-20-21 Nov 2026
TEATRO RASI & other venues
1500 years after the death of Theodoric, Transmissions Festival returns to Ravenna for a new edition taking the figure of the Ostrogoth king as a starting point to build sonic architectures shaped by encounters and collisions between cultures, possible and fragile forms of coexistence, transformations and memories.

RADWAN GHAZI MOUMNEH & FRÉDÉRIC D. OBERLAND – IGGOR CAVALERA – KEVIN RICHARD MARTIN – MARTA SALOGNI & STEFANO PILIA with SARAH MAZZETTI – ALINA KALANCEA – BLAK SAAGAN & MAJID BITA – SARA PERSICO – ADRIANO ZANNI – BRUNO DORELLA
& more to come…
Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, founder of Jerusalem In My Heart, joins Oiseaux-Tempête multi-instrumentalist Frédéric D. Oberland for Eternal Life No End, an unprecedented dialogue between Middle Eastern traditions and European avant-garde drone; Iggor Cavalera, co-founder of Brazilian legends Sepultura, with a solo live set built entirely in the moment, searching for ritualistic sound and an element of danger; Kevin Richard Martin aka The Bug presents Sub Zero, a slow-motion excavation through drug-tech, dub and glacial ambient, gradually mutating into hypnotic pulses and melodic melancholy.
PHREN brings together producer Marta Salogni, Stefano Pilia and illustrator Sarah Mazzetti in a dialogue between sound and drawing; Romanian sound artist Alina Kalancea explores dark ambient and gothic drone through synthesisers, voice and ritualistic instinct; Blak Saagan and Iranian illustrator and graphic novelist Majid Bita present Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni, an eclectic collision of Iranian punk, hallucinatory Middle Eastern beats and industrial sounds.
Sara Persico brings Sphaîra, weaving drones, reverberated voices and traces of sacred music; field recording master Adriano Zanni returns with Post Dub Cities, a meditation on the fate of every civilisation built from dub echoes and essential beats; while Transmissions’ historic curator Bruno Dorella presents Concerto per chitarra solitaria, a six-string experimental journey from placid waters towards shipwreck, performed in complete solitude.
More names and the full TRANSMISSIONS OFF programme – featuring screenings, exhibitions, talks and DJ sets around this year’s theme – will be announced soon.
