Helicotrema is a festival dedicated to collective listening, founded and curated by Blauer Hase (Riccardo Giacconi, Mario Ciaramitaro, Daniele Zoico) and Giulia Morucchio since 2012.

Helicotrema presents a program of recorded audio pieces. Inspired by the early decades of radio broadcasts, it investigates different forms of collective listening, experimenting with different contexts.

The festival presents sound works by international authors and artists, comprising audio plays, audio documentaries, soundscapes, experimental poetry and various audio-based narrative formats.
Helicotrema is structured in a series of listening sessions.

The festival has taken place in different venues in Italy, thanks to the collaboration with numerous institutions, such as: MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art and Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome), Viafarini / Careof / DOCVA, Fonderia Artistica Battaglia (Milan); Osservatorio di Arcetri, Museo Marino Marini (Florence); Centrale Fies (Dro); CLOG, Progetto Diogene, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Laboratorio del Dubbio (Turin); Microclima, Palazzo Grassi – Punta della Dogana, Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana (Venice).
