International and Intercultural Lab for Research and Theatrical Creation

Casting Call for the next International and Intercultural Lab for Research and Theatrical Creation of the Teatro Simurgh In search of the Ancient Actor for a Modern Theatre.

To whom and what
It is open to, professional actors, directors, musicians, singers, dancers, playwright and theatre students. It proposes seven days of full immersion in the practice of Theatre Art studied from different points of view.

A meeting in privileged conditions of group work where to give place to bold reflections, uncomfortable ones, about the ethic, the discipline and the real sense of a cognitive function that theatre is called to fulfil, in this convulsive present time, as an open door to the invisible. 

A moment of artistic and professional growth then, meant to satisfy deeper needs, even of spiritual nature, arising from more and more urgent uneasiness about the sense of one’s art in Italy (and in the world) today, beyond the established logic of the theatrical market and the mechanisms of cultural policies.

When and where
The Lab will take place from September 3rd to September 9th of 2017 in Guardiagrele, a charming Italian town of pre-roman origins in the Abruzzi region, placed at the foot of the Maiella mountain range and at a few kilometres from the sea. 

Cost, food and lodging 
For all the artists that will be cast, the Lab is free.
The artists who got cast by this call will have lunch and dinner at a total cost of 15 Euro a day (7,50 Euro for each meal) in a local restaurant affiliated with this cultural event. They will stay for free in a municipal guest place properly set up for these occasions.
