Primavera dei Teatri Festival Expands with International Platform PRIMA
Next year, the Primavera dei Teatri festival, created by Dario De Luca, Saverio La Ruina, and Settimio Pisano, will celebrate its 25th anniversary in Castrovillari, Calabria. The 2024 festival, taking place in late May, will introduce PRIMA, an international platform for up-and-coming artists, including Chiara Bersani, Annamaria Ajmone, and Mauro Lamanna, among others. Known for its welcoming vibe and focus on groundbreaking dramaturgy, the event will showcase remarkable works such as Dino Lopardo's "Affogo," Mariano Dammacco and Serena Balivo's "La morte ovvero il pranzo della domenica," and Dario De Luca's "I 4 desideri di Santu Martinu," performed in Calabrian dialect.
