Theatre On-Call: A Cultural Counter-Virus is Spreading...

 

“As someone born in Italy and as an immersive theatre practitioner whose practice is based on crossing the city and being close and intimate with others, I am deeply shaken by the current world situation related to the spread of COVID-19, as I’m sure all of us are. I feel the urge to respond and find a way of still being together while in isolation.”

 - Daniele Bartolini, Artistic Director DLT

​

Istituto Italiano di Cultura and DLT announce “Theatre On-Call”, a festival of contemporary, interactive performances occurring over the phone and other digital platforms, a way of keeping connected during these uncertain times.

​

While we are unable to connect physically during these times of social isolation, we can and will continue to connect- with our voices. Envisioned as a sort of counter virus, that spreads generating artistic responses and connecting and supporting audiences and artists.

All Theatre On-Call performances are PWYC. All funds go directly to artists who lost work due to Covid-19
