Middle-aged

From 14 to 17 May, nine selected shows will be staged in Cividale del Friuli for the 6th edition of the festival – Europe’s leading festival for under-30s.

This year’s theme is ‘Fear’.

Mittelyoung continues with his work on research into new performative proposals (theatre, music, dance and circus) by under-30s from Central Europe. Once again this time the selection of the nine shows selected was made by curators under 30.

The panel of experts comprises: Riccardo Ventrella of the Teatro della Pergola, Francesca Di Fazio, junior artistic director of the ERT Foundation, and the critic and scholar Roberto Canziani.
