Productions
Production is the main focus of ERT’s activities, we believe in the value of sharing our artists’ dreams and projects; we work to build connections with local audience focusing on its demands in order to establish a relationship with people. A multitude of languages allows ERT to be part on the programs of various national theatres and to collaborate on a European level.
International projects
VIE Festival
VIE is an international festival of theatre and dance. It was founded in 2005 with the goal of crossing the contemporary scene, of intercepting new identities and subjectivities which stand out in the field of live performance. VIE wants to give to the look the responsibility of finding, of searching where the strength of the new is hiding today, the artists who are able to explore the areas of contact between the performing arts
Atlas of Transitions
Atlas of Transitions, new geographies for a cross-cultural Europe (2017-2020), is one of the winning projects of 2017 “Creative Europe”. Through the use of various artistic practices, looks into the potentiality arising from contemporary migratory phenomena and works towards finding new ways of perceiving public spaces and cohabitation between European citizens and newcomers. Using a range of means, the project opens the path to promoting interchanging geographies involving a dialogue with the other, based on reciprocity and interaction.
