“Vivere all’italiana sul palcoscenico” is the new initiative for the promotion and diffusion of Italian culture abroad that aims to support the recovery of Italian productions in the live entertainment sector and the international relaunch thanks to the Network of Embassies, Consulates, Representatives and Italian Cultural Institutes in the world.
The initiative has been developed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation – Directorate General for the Promotion of the Country System in line with the objectives of “Cura Italia” (DL. 18/2020 converted into Law no. 27 of 24 April 2020) in support of the culture sector, and with the integrated promotion strategy “Vivere all’Italiana”.
The Initiative aims to promote interest in artistic proposals for new and original multidisciplinary productions or in the individual disciplines of contemporary theatre, dance, and circus.
A maximum of ten proposals will be selected, with particular attention to the quality of the project and consistency with the aims of the initiative, the innovative character and the capacity for international dissemination, which must be produced and filmed in video form by November 30, 2020.
The videos will be part of the programming of the initiative “Vivere all’italiana sul palcoscenico” which will be broadcast in 2020 through a dedicated platform and promoted internationally by the Ministry’s Foreign Network.
Compatible with the filming of events in the presence and after verification of the available financial resources, the MAECI will be able to promote the circulation abroad from 2021 of three of the selected projects – identified following a vote by the Italian Cultural Institutes – also thanks to the support of the General Direction for Entertainment of MiBACT.
