The art organisation Creative Laboratory of Contemporary Theater KRILA is announcing a public call for the 6th edition of TranziT – the European Festival of Contemporary Theater Practices. The festival will take place in Rijeka, Croatia, from July to November 2025.
TranziT aims to promote both European and Croatian independent performing artists and their organisations. The festival’s programme features works that resonate with contemporary audiences and reflect the current social and technological context. Over several months, the festival will focus on presenting works characterised by strong authorship, high-quality artistic expression, and relevant content.
It will present smaller, experimental formats of events that can take place in both theatrical and non-theatrical spaces, engaging and involving audiences in the creative process. The goal is to cultivate the festival as a space for exchange, transformation, and the breaking down of conventional forms, boundaries, and both personal and collective obstacles.
Artists and organisations may apply in one of two categories:
- Presentation of an Artistic Work: This includes a performance, a talk with the audience following the performance, and a shorter workshop for the audience conducted the day before the performance (1–2 days).
- Research Lab: This consists of 1–2 guest artists interested in sharing their working methods with local artists and audiences, exploring a topic of their choice, and fostering potential collaboration and future work in Rijeka (2–3 days).
The festival will cover the artistic fees and travel expenses (including accommodation and transportation). Preference will be given to applications that can partially cover their costs (e.g., travel expenses).
The TranziT#6 festival programme is financially supported by Kultura nova Foundation, City of Rijeka, The Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, and Primorsko-goranska županija.
