Spectator Festival

The festival, whose main characteristic is to focus on its audience, returns to explore the relationship between performing arts and technology.

In its eighth edition, the festival directs its attention towards Artificial Intelligence, its ethical implications, and its potential to support creativity. As always, the festival offers performances, screenings, workshops, meetings, and in-depth discussions, in a succession of artificial yet profoundly real games. In the end, the theater remains the place of excellence for imagination, where fiction becomes most real.
