THE FESTIVAL
Teatri Riflessi brings on Mt. Etna international works from the contemporary scene, making it a place for discussion between artists, spectators, and performing arts professionals. The project promotes contemporary dance and theatre pieces in unconventional spaces, artist residencies, and an international competition for short live performances. Since the first edition, Teatri Riflessi has been connecting a large and heterogeneous audience with contemporary art languages.
17, 18, 19 July
THE COMPETITION
The International Short Performance Competition brings to Zafferana Etnea companies from all over the world to discuss with spectators, theatre and festival directors, journalists and critics from Italy and abroad. The three days host performances, discussions, networking events, and the preview of new contemporary works.
8-21 July
THE PROGRAMME
Contemporary dance and theatre performances, previews, and discussions will bring the Etna region into conTact with the contemporary performing arts. Special focus is placed on young Italian auteur dance, the hybridization of languages, and audience accessibility.
conTact
The image suggested by the theme is that of a surface: a membrane that connects contiguous spaces, a skin that covers different bodies, but also the volcanic crust that characterises an arid yet fertile environment. The aim is to foster moments of reflection that focus on interaction (between practices, voices and distinct subjects, rewritten codes and languages) and that do so with the care—and the tact—that deep listening provides.
