Fabulamundi. Playwriting Europe
Start date: May 2, 2013,

The project Fabulamundi. Playwriting Europe - promoted by PAV snc (IT), Off Limits (ES), National Theatre of Targu Mures (RO) and a European network of theatres, festivals in Italy, Spain, Romania, Germany and France - is dedicated to contemporary dramaturgy and has the aim to create a platform of cooperation and exchange among theatres, directors, actors and playwrights from the different countries in order to make stage presentations of translated plays and create occasions of encounter and discussion around the theme “The dangerous opportunity”.We took inspiration from John F. Kennedy sentence “When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity”. That meets our idea of the crisis as something that can destroy but also create. The project proposes translations of contemporary plays coming from the 5 countries; readings or stage presentation of these plays made by local directors and actors; open discussions with the audiences after the events and on the blog of the project around “The dangerous opportunity”; masterclasses held by the foreign playwrights to the students of Universities or Theatre Academies; the beginning of the creation of an international shared catalogue with information about the authors and their worksThrough the consolidation of the network of 14 theatres and festivals, along with 2 cultural enterprises in the 5 countries we want to explore the different national dramaturgies, in order to find points of contact and diversities.We know that in Europe the cultural diversities, the different traditions, the difficulties that come from the national languages create natural barriers to the communication, exchange and mutual understanding, but the diversity of languages and cultures is a richness too: Fabulamundi wants to promote European multilingualism and multiculturalism so as to provide more opportunities and multiple choices to answer to the crisis.
