SAN SEPOLCRO, Italy – Special guests at Kilowatt Festival
Among the other events on the programme:

👉Friday 17: Theatre, Solitude, Craft, Revolt — a unique event in the form of an intergenerational on-stage dialogue between Barba and Varley, with directors, authors, and actors Liv Ferracchiati, Nicola Borghesi, and Licia Lanera;

Two meetings, both coordinated by Marco De Marinis and preceded by film screenings:
👉Saturday 18, The Art of the Impossible by Elsa Kvamme, followed by a conference with Armando Punzo and Piergiorgio Giacché; and 👉Sunday 19, Zona limite by Stefano Di Buduo, followed by a discussion with Teatro delle Albe (Ermanna Montanari and Marco Martinelli) and Davide Iodice.
👉Saturday 18 also features Compassion, with Julia Varley directed by Eugenio Barba: a performance that brings to the stage three grotesque, painful, and emblematic stories drawn from everyday contemporary life and from the darkness of myth, with strong connections to the wars currently inflaming the Middle East.
👉Throughout the Festival, three exhibitions will also be open to the public:

stage images from Compassion and The Clouds of Hamlet, reworked and printed on fabric by Annalisa Gonnella;

Odin Teatret posters, from 1964 to the present;

photographs from the last six editions of ISTA, by Francesco Galli.
