Kindling Arts Festival 2025, featuring a spellbinding array of 19 original performance projects created by Nashville's most daring artists. From the dark and mysterious to the buoyant and sexy, our Fortunes & Fates festival line-up offers something for every adventurous art-lover: a feminist, electro-pop reimagining of the Salem witch trials, timely theatrical works wrestling with our present times, a fantastical drug-induced queer journey into a fictional land, interactive events exploring communal power and alternative economies, and so much more.
