Ui Carro Tespi 2023

“The Chariot of Thespis, Italian theatre in the square” returns to Istria

This year will be the second edition of the theatrical event, a point of scenic performance but also a meeting point for artists, actors, directors, professionals and enthusiasts of contemporary theater. Created by Dramma italiano and COMITES Fiume, for three consecutive weekends starting from June 30, there will be theatrical performances in the setting of the main squares of the picturesque Istrian villages of Grožnjan, Visinada and Gallesano.

In each stage, as was done in the first edition in 2022, a show will be staged involving three different Italian theater companies. The initiative, co-organized by the Italian Union and the Italian Communities of the three villages that will host the evenings, will include subtitles in Croatian and English, in order to involve an even wider audience.

The first weekend dedicated to art will be in Grisignana, where the Iagulli-Raimondi Company from Milan and Turin will perform with “OPERA shot – Così fan tutte”. We will then move on to Visinada on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th July with the show "Leviathan" of a theatre company from Rome in collaboration with one from Milan, and to finish in style we will go to Gallesano, on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th July with the Dramma Italiano di Fiume which will perform with “Lock Clown”. It will be three weeks that will give compatriots the opportunity to spend summer evenings dedicated to culture and the art of theater in the company of others.

More information will be made available on the social profiles of the Italian Drama,Italian Union and from the web page of the Croatian National Theatre “Ivan Zajc” in Rijeka.
