Along the line / Border theaters

The project aims to promote Nova Gorica-Gorizia GO2025 as a meeting point to foster the consolidation of a national and international network of entities operating in the theatrical and performing arts sectors in various border cities.

The project originates from a national network composed of Quarantasettezeroquattro (FVG), Karakorum Teatro of Varese (operating in small towns on the border between Lombardy and Switzerland), and Associazione Palinodie of Aosta, operating on the Italian-French border. The network was established and began working during 2022-2023 thanks to funding from the Boarding Pass+ Call by the Ministry of Culture.

Il progetto intende promuovere Nova Gorica-Gorizia GO2025 come punto d’incontro per favorire il consolidamento di una rete nazionale e internazionale di realtà che operano nell’ambito teatrale e performativo in diverse città di confine.

Il progetto prende avvio da una rete nazionale composta da Quarantasettezeroquattro (FVG), Karakorum Teatro di Varese (operante in piccoli paesi sul confine tra Lombardia e Svizzera) e Associazione Palinodie, di Aosta, operante sul confine italo-francese. La rete si è costituita e ha iniziato a lavorare nel corso del 2022-2023 grazie a un finanziamento sul Bando Boarding Pass+ del Ministero della cultura.
