The Primavera dei Teatri Festival in Castrovillari hosted th first of the Italian residencies of R-Evolution Project 23-24.

After completing their preparatory work in Naples, Dario Rea (Italy) and Maher Msaddek (Tunisia) arrived in Castrovillari, where they were guests of the Primavera dei Teatri Festival from May 22nd to 27th. The residency ended with the event Pitch and Drink, an informal meeting in the cloister of the Protoconvento, during which the artists had the opportunity to meet with some theater operators to talk about creative paths, productions and possible co-productions, followed in the evening by the staging of Hide and Seek, the story of an adopted boy who decides to go in search of his missing family, in a performance that featured Maher and some white balloons, his companions on this journey towards loneliness.

The project was produced with the support of Culture Moves Europe, funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe program and implemented by the Goethe-Institut.
