Pesaro and Rome, the "The Survivors" project of the Urbino Aenigma University Theatre has started

"I sopravvissuti" (The Survivors) short stories by Primo Levi made in the prison of Pesaro with Aenigma University Theatre directed by Francesco Gigliotti.

The images of Saka, Said, Denis, Aattif, Alban - interpreters of 'The Survivors’ - will be remembered by the audience within a dimension of 'time out of time' that generates micro-stories among the protagonists who find empathy and solidarity while sharing their memories. It is a new dimension that is triggered by the performance, an emotional one. The symbolic value of gestures, words and bodies acts against the physical degradation suffered and against the spiritual wreckage of men and objects. The young musician Francesco Scaramuzzino performs the role of an angel evoked by the imagination of the other protagonists. In a lyrical finale on the notes of an unreachable melody, the angel initiates a captivating cathartic effect with which everything seems to lose weight and vanish, just as the attempt to evoke those very memories.

International call to the X A-festival (Tartu, October 2022)

For the 10th time, Tartu Student Theater is organizing an international festival of independent and student theaters, which will take place in October 2022.

Student theaters as well as independent and author's theaters are welcome to apply for the festival program.

The name of the A-festival originally comes from the word “absurd”, which is why we expect productions selected to the festival to deal with issues related to human existence and have a touch of absurdity in it. In terms of genre, we prefer absurd comedy, tragic comedy, farce, clown theatre, different types of contemporary drama performances, shadow play, but also physical and object theater.

Plays will be performed in three venues in Tartu, and it is also possible to play outdoors if needed.

Five productions will be selected by the festival team, which will be performed during the three days of festival.
