Edition 2023
The twenty-seventh edition of Natura Dèi Teatri, the performing arts Festival_project curated by Maria Federica Masters e Francesco Pititto, that from 1996 continues to weave relationships between national and international contemporary artistic realities, returns – from September to December – to explore, through contemporary trans-genre artistic languages and their physical-digital hybridizations, the possibility of drawing new maps of knowledge and imagining new forms of multispecies relationships, oriented towards the coexistence of differences, guided by a feminine understood as a tension towards sensitive living, post-anthropocentric, listening and in dialogue with the human and the non-human, for the decolonization of Western culture.
