CLASSE is a project of transmission, compromise, blending and mixing, invented pedagogies and radical imagination that combines a public programme with the creation of an ongoing working group, moving through the Short Theatre 2025’s programme and beyond.
Every day for 10 days, artists, poets, activists, philosophers and researchers are invited to give a short talk starting from a specific word / issue / practice.
