Fabulamundi. Playwriting Europe: Beyond Borders? is a cooperative project, which aim is to sustain and promote contemporary dramaturgy in Europe, helping to consolidate and empower the activities and strategies of artists working in this field. Fabulamundi will work from 2017 to 2020 in 10 European countries, with 15 partners, including theatres, festivals and cultural organisations in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Romania, Austria, Belgium, Poland, England and the Czech Republic, and with another 8 countries collaborating with the project. The project, on a small scale, was financed twice by the European Commission, in 2013 and 2015, and, now, will continue its journey through Europe thanks to the funds of Creative Europe 2014-2020.
In the framework of Fabulamundi, Short Theater 2020 presents Illegal Helpers by Paola Rota, Simonetta Soldier and Teho Teardo, and the project curated by Riccardo Fazi / Muta Imago, Elise Simonet and Jessie Mill, Les Cliniques Dramaturgiques. Furthermore, this year Panorama Roma is intertwined with the project: the artists and companies chosen to take part this year will work on international texts selected over these three years which are as yet unpublished in Italy, setting up Short Theatre’s run as a kind of creative construction site visible to the public.
