From 11th to 15th September, in the frame of Short Theatre Festival, the Italian company Vico Quarto Mazzini will presented a sound installation based on the text Paper Planes by the Romanian author Elise Wilk. LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE idea, design and realisation VicoQuartoMazzini text in audio taken from Paper Planes by Elise Wilk translated by Roberto Merlo performing voices Michele Altamura, Simonetta Damato, Gabriele Paolocà sound Alessandro De Rocco photo Valerio Polici registered at REH studio – MAT Terlizzi (Ba) We live in a violent world and we learn this at an early age. To grow up, enter into the world of adults, means coming to terms with that violence and deciding which side of it you are on. LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE is an immersive experience, an installation where visual and sonic elements come together out of an infantile and adolescent universe. A game room, recalling some childhood place, where an element of sound insinuates itself, a recording that tells the story of Miki, an adolescent bullied by his peers who, to get away from it all, decides to carry out an extreme gesture. The spectator hears this drama as if it were a fairy tale told to children, still living in a world of games, like a premonition, like an echo aimed at the deepest roots of one’s first encounter with violence. The narrated story comes from Paper Planes by Romanian author Elise Wilk, one of the texts chosen by Fabulamundi- Playwriting Europe for the support and promotion of contemporary dramaturgy in Europe. LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE is one of the winning projects of the production announcement promoted by PAV, Short Theatre and Teatro i in the context of Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe.

Event Details

In the frame of Short Theatre festival, on 6 and 7 September António e Cleópatra by the first Fabulamundi's Portuguese twinned author, Tiago Rodrigues, will be on stage. If we say one of the names, the other follows it. Our memory cannot evoke one without the other. Plutarch wrote that, from them on, love became the ability to see the world through the sensibility of someone else’s soul. They mixed love and politics and came up with a politics of love. They are a historical love story. They are a romance based on real events often romanticized about. Shakespeare built them a verbal monument that turned into the truest of truths what never happened to them. In Mankiewicz’s film that led 20th Century Fox to bankruptcy, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were the celluloid and real couple they never –and always– were. In this show written and directed by Tiago Rodrigues, Sofia Dias and Vítor Roriz are the here -and- now duo of what they were there-and-then. They are and are not Antony and Cleopatra. They are Antony seeing the world through Cleopatra’s eyes. And vice-versa. Always vice-versa. Vice-versa as a rule of love. Vice-versa as a rule of theatre. This show is seeing the world vicariously, through the sensibility of the souls of Antony and Cleopatra.

Event Details

In collaboration with Teatro di Roma, Silvia Rampelli will lead a workshop with elderly people, based on the text Akvabely by Czech author David Drabek.

AKVABELY / AQUABELLES Alfréd Radok Award for the best original play of 2003. A view of the contemporary generation of thirty-somethings. Three university friends conceive a secret hobby: they meet at a hidden reservoir and ”dance“ in the water. Their furry legs are vibrating in the rhythm of music above the surface, and they experience the moment of harmony and coordination that these thirty-something adults do not experience on the ground. With party picnics after training, they just mask the cracks in their relationships.

After school their paths had diverged. Kajetán had taken the post of TV moderator and became a true celebrity. He oscillate between the models’ arms and the arms of his English teacher. Petr stayed at the university as a lecturer and continued his stubborn struggle against consumerism. He pedantically watches his wife and son in front of the traps of civilization and exposes Kajetán to betrayal of ideals.

However, the two friends are caught off guard by Filip. He decides to stay in the reservoir forever, returning to an existence as a prehistoric water element. He feels like a beast, webs grow between his fingers. Gradually, he closes himself to the world until all is quiet. Things take off – Petr leaves his wife, Kajetán, influenced by the loss of his friend, causes a brawl in the TV studio. Over a few seconds their certainty has crumbled to dust. In the final scene on the shore of the lake, Peter and Kajetán carry a wooden chest on their shoulders. The dark suits are open, stones fly away from their heels. They slip Philip into the waters of the lake. Peter saves insects from the surface, and Kajetán opens a “shop” with sticks, mud and leaves. At the end, two orphaned “aqua-belles” dance for their lost friend.

In spite of all its gags and humorous situations, the play is permeated with the nostalgia of a generation and in places even a frosty surreal quality. In the 2004/2005 season, the leading Czech stage director, Vladimir Morávek, staged the Aquabelles. The play won the 2003 Alfred Radok Award and later the Best Czech Play of the Year (2005).

Event Details

Playwright: Roberto Scarpetti Partner: PAV Twinned playwright: Anna Wakulik

Duration: 4 weeks incl. final presentation (staged readings) Participants: a group of young actors and actresses from the school of Teatro di Roma Location: Teatro Argentina and Teatro India – Teatro di Roma Time: 26-30 June 2023 – 2-7 p.m. – Sala Enriquez, Teatro Argentina, Rome + 16th November to 7th December 2023 – Sala Oceano Indiano, Teatro India, Rome

Fabulamundi New Voices Italian partners PAV have launched their first creative workshop: Teatri di guerra, a dramaturgy and acting lab led by Roberto Scarpetti with the actors and actresses of the specialization course of Teatro di Roma. Starting from the collective reading of Aeschylus’ I sette contro Tebe, from the vision of Teatro di guerra directed by Mario Martone and from the reading of the volume of the same name, the workshop is structured in a four-week path of theatrical writing and acting. The first week will be dedicated to the analysis of the text by Aeschylus and of the key themes of Martone’s film. Martone’s 1998 long feature is extremely topical, not only due to the fact that the situation of Ukraine invaded by Russia can be superimposed on the war in the former Yugoslavia, but above all because the multiple theatres of war narrated in the film have not changed today compared to to the Italian reality of the late 90s: the violence of the cities; the war within the cultural system and the difficulties in carrying out an artistic project in a world conditioned by power relations; the small internal wars, the clashes, the doubts, the crises that condition the work of a group of artists, in which individuality must somehow give way to the community. In the break between the first part of the workshop, at the end of June, and the second part, in November, the group of participants will be invited to write short plays starting from the themes identified during the initial meetings. Not a real rewriting of The Seven Against Thebes or Theater of War, but personal texts that take their cue from the reflections made collectively. In this writing phase, zoom sessions will be planned, even individual ones, in order to guide the authors in the various drafts. The result will be a collective text which will form the basis of the work of the November weeks and which will lead to the staging of the text, for a restitution open to the public in one of the halls of the Teatro di Roma.

Event Details

Playwright: Eva Geatti Partner: Short Theatre Twinned playwright: Kateřina Součková •Rome session Duration: 4 days Participants: young participants up to 30 years old Location: Teatro India – Teatro di Roma Time: 11-14 september 2023 •Asti session Duration: 4 days Participants: young participants Location: Spazio Kor Time: 20-23 november 2023

The workshop organised by Short Theatre Festival starts from the reading of the first chapter of Il Monte Analogo by René Daumal and from two words that evoke a posture and a gesture of research: Self-creation and Psycho-geography. Self-creation is the attempt to maintain a temporal constancy in the search for spontaneous and original movement, without following predefined rhythms or stylistic indications. Psychogeography is that exercise whereby, keeping oneself in motion, one mentally maintains a constant narration made up of incoming and outgoing flows, trying to move the thought into the body. During the workshop, playwright Eva Geatti is accompanied by the composer Dario Moroldo, who will develop acoustic patterns to follow, contrast or enhance the gestural practices of the participants. Discover more on Short Theatre Festival website. To participate, send an email to shorttheatrefestival@gmail.com, stating the title of the workshop in the subject area and name, phone number and a few lines of presentation in the body. Deadline: 25th August 2023

La geografia della budella(The Geography of guts) is part of RECIPROCITY, a section of Short Theater now in its third edition, in which the festival experiments with models of reciprocity and knowledge through bodily practices, narrative grafts, playful universes.

Clorofilla dal cielo blu is a PAV project in the context of Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe “New Voices”, in collaboration with Teatro di Roma – Teatro Nazionale.

Clorofilla dal cielo blu is a short workshop dedicated to the adaptation of texts for theatre organised by New Voices Italian partners PAV and led by playwright and author Roberto Scarpetti. Bernhard Studlar, Austrian playwright part of New Voices’ FAB community, joins Roberto Scarpetti to decline the workshop’s themes and reflections into an international dimension. Structured into five intensive sessions, the workshop takes place from 11 to 15 September 2023 at Teatro Argentina and will involve a group of emerging playwrights, directors and actors into the a comparative reading of “Clorofilla dal cielo blu” by Bianca Pitzorno. Scarpetti will guide the group to confront on key writing aspects in Pitzorno’s text to understand theatrical adaptations of texts, specifically focusing on: the choice of language in the passage from narrative to theatrical writing; the development in a contemporary point of view of the themes of the original story; the plot interventions necessary for the staging; management and changes of the characters; adaptation as a betrayal of the novel. To participate, send your CV or presentation to: projects@pav-it.eu by 1 September 2023. Participation in the workshop is free and attendance is compulsory. Good knowledge of the English language is required. Deadline: 1 september 2023
