This call for entries is open to international groups or artists that practice experimental theatre or experimentation on scenic languages. The selected performances will be included in the XXII edition of Festival Opera Prima from 10 to 14 June 2026 in Rovigo, Italy.
Experimental theatre means a work that truly experiments with the dramaturgy (interpreted as scenic composition), the actor, the spectator and the scenic space. The Festival selects both original works that have not been yet performed, as well as works that have already debuted, but which have not had an adequate circulation and/or visibility. The submitted works must be no longer than 60 minutes.
All expenses and practices concerning the organisation, communication, staff, promotion of the event will be borne by the Festival. The Festival covers accommodation and one dinner (just for the artists and technicians working in the performance) and gives to the selected artists a production budget in order to also cover travel costs and other meals.
