With the new artistic direction of Benedetto Sicca, Tramedautore is presented as the International Festival of Dramaturgies. The plural here is important: playwriting, evermore-so nowadays, has proven to be able to penetrate lands and languages both verbal and non-verbal, capable of elaborating thoughts on contemporaneity. Works will be staged from Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, The Netherlands and Sweden, focusing on the fragility of values in that part of Europe theoretically leading this continent which runs “at two speeds”. There will also be street performances and concerts in the Chiostro following the shows.

With the director Mijke de Jong, Wunderbaum has created a docu-fiction, in which the actors, in the conviction that theatre alone cannot make a difference, stop pretending to act, and begin to truly take action, in an attempt to radically change the world. Each one of them develops their own idealistic project, but the difficulty of giving form to their own ideas, jealousy, competition, and a lack of understanding put the group under increasing pressure. The aim of the project is to examine the entity of our personal commitment to a common cause.
The screening will be followed by a theatrical meeting, in which the actors reflect on what has taken place. Has their undertaking and idealism really produced results? Have they returned to dedicate themselves to theatre? Do they still consider themselves a group?

The actors play a challenging game between reality and fiction which, with humour, invites us, above all, to reflect - De Volkskrant
