Short Theatre returns to Rome from 5-15 September.

Short Theatre, a daring theatrical initiative born of a collaboration between festivals, embassies and cultural institutes, takes place in Rome from 5-15 September 2024.

Now in its 19th year, the festival comprises avant-garde theatre, dance, music, performance, prose, dj sets and workshops, and will be staged at the Mattatoio in Testaccio and a dozen other cultural venues around Rome.

Under the title Viscous Porosity, the 11-day programme features more than 50 projects by 40 companies from Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Denmark, Sweden, Rwanda, United States, Germany, Canada, Palestine and Mexico.
