In the wake of the first edition of 2022, the international Presente indicativo Festival, now with the main subject Milano Porta Europa, returns with the Piccolo’s aim of “mapping” the lines and profiles of contemporary theatre, creating a celebration of perspectives and a special opportunity to come together and examine the profound and complex ties that have always existed between Europe and the performing arts. 

The programme of shows has brought forth a multifaceted exploration of the depths and the enigmas of the Old Continent, in an succession of vanishing points and unexpected connections, raising legitimate doubts over whether the confines of Europe can truly coincide with those of our gaze.
