One hundred and sixty-two
applications were submitted for the international call of
MittelYoung, the 'section' of the Mittelfest of Cividale del
Friuli, which from 24 to June 27 will stage the creativity of
artists, companies, and art collectives under 30 on the occasion
of the 2021 edition of the theater, music and dance festival of
the countries of Central Europe and the Balkans, focusing on the
theme "Heirs."
Of the 162 applications, according to Mittelfest, 102 come from
Italy and the other 60 from Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, Germany,
Czech Republic, Switzerland, Belarus, Romania, Austria, Hungary,
Greece, Poland, Serbia, Malta, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Albania.
"I am delighted with this result - said the artistic director of
the Mittelfest Giacomo Pedini - because, in just four months, we
were able to carry out the international tender and build the
network of relations with the regional, Italian, and European
cultural institutions, which have helped us spread the news.
Indeed, the applications came from almost all of the 25
countries involved."
The ball will now pass into the commission's hands. The
commission comprises 30 people between the ages of 20 and 30,
coming from the regional cultural entities active in theater,
music, and dance training. With the coordination of the artistic
direction of Mittelfest, the jury will select nine titles (3
each for theater, music, and dance) to set up the MittelYoung
program at the end of June. Subsequently, the same group of
curators, along with the artistic direction, will select, among
the nine shows scheduled for the end of June, up to 3 titles (1
each for theater, music, and dance) to be staged again within
Mittelfest 'Heirs' (August 27 - September 5).
