In autumn 2020, Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe will reach its fourth year of the large-scale edition of Creative Europe. The international health-emergency has pushed us to redefine the processes that were gradually emerging and react with another possibility of affirming the presence in the theatre.
Starting from the awareness that to guarantee the plurality of languages, styles and representativeness of each cultural and productive context of the network has always been the main mission of Fabulamundi, we have been guided at the definition of an extensive and plural program thanks to the digitalization of contents.
From September 2020, with a specific focus in the week from the 14th to the 18th, and then continuing up to December, Fabulamundi Effects – a European digital storytelling will tune Europe with its mix of digital and presence, connecting, with its frequencies, the multifaceted landscape of identities, languages, and experiences.
