Focus Contemporary German Dramaturgy

The focus involves the presentation of three unpublished texts in Italy by young playwrights, famous and award-winning for works in German. This first edition wants to promote a direct dialogue with a drama that is geographically close and which often, in a lucid way, talks about controversial issues of inclusion as natural movements of our own society.

The chosen authors are known in Italy for their prose (edit by Marsilio) and less known for their theatrical texts, maybe as a result of the pandemic that has almost frozen the usability of theaters in recent years, or perhaps simply because there are few opportunities to know a foreign dramaturgy.

And here is the aim of this review: to break down linguistic and geographical barriers with meetings organized by an international team and in which prodigious actresses, well-known to the audience of the Operaestate festival (and beyond), will show on the three following evenings the strength of the texts in the form of scenic readings.
