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

Helicotrema presented programs of recorded audio pieces. Inspired by the early decades of radio broadcasting, it investigated various forms of collective listening, experimenting with diverse contexts.

The festival presented sound works by international authors and artists, comprising audio plays, documentaries, soundscapes, experimental poetry, and various narrative formats.
It was structured as a series of listening sessions.
