Hundreds of people filled the streets and squares, the city center transformed into a giant stage, and a high level of participation accompanied all the events marking the tenth anniversary. The tenth edition of Su Mortu Mortu – Our Halloween concluded with a resounding success. From October 29th to 31st, the event brought to Sassari the atmosphere, characters, and rituals of Sardinian tradition linked to the cult of the dead, intertwining them with the imagery of other cultures.

Born as part of the Racconti Erranti project, the event has grown over the years to become a recognizable event in the city's cultural panorama.

Organized by Tusitala Storytelling , with artistic direction by Monica De Murtas , the event reached its climax on Saturday evening, when a procession of actors, dancers, stilt walkers, and extras traversed the city center streets, enlivening the streets and squares with flash mobs, theatrical incursions, shop windows transformed into mini-stages, and close-up encounters with the audience. The Janas, Babborcu, and Maschinganna shared the stage with figures from the Anglo-Saxon and Mexican worlds, bringing to life a multiethnic tale that engaged spectators of all ages.

Over eighty artists from the associations Tusitala, ABC, Jana Benessere, Ross Collective, and Arkadia Eventi participated in the production, with costumes designed by Fabio Loi and lighting and stage effects by Geibiche Service . Among the attractions was the return of the horror tunnel in the Via Cetti archway, one of the event's most distinctive features. The closing event took place in Piazza d'Italia, where the Ali di Aria company, directed by Rossana Stellato , created a captivating finale with an aerial dance performance, bringing the show from the street to the skies.
