This year TalentLAB continues with the same objective: to offer a space for research, exchange, and experimentation dedicated to contemporary stage creation. TalentLAB has established itself as an unmissable event, celebrating multidisciplinary approaches, hybrid forms, emerging narratives, and encouraging dialogue between artists and audiences. A true laboratory of ideas, it aims to remain a space for exploration where doubt, experimentation, and thinking outside the box are all embraced.

Over the course of eleven editions, we have received 364 applications from around the world and had the pleasure of welcoming 65 project leaders from more than 20 countries, collaborating with over 394 artists within the festival and mentoring program. These encounters have nurtured the spirit of TalentLAB and forged a vibrant, diverse, and engaged artistic community.

In 2027, we are continuing this adventure. For ten days, TalentLAB will yet again offer six project leaders and their teams a creative environment for experimentation, reflection, and exchange. At the end, the project leaders and their teams will present 20 minute scratch performances each that have been developed during the ten days under the kind and expert supervision from artists specifically chosen for this mentoring mission.

We invite you to take part in this new edition, to share your intuitions, your research, your artistic desires with us. Whatever your discipline, whether you are at the dawn of a new project or in the midst of reassessment, TalentLAB could be the decisive step where everything begins or begins anew.

Send us your application and join the TalentLAB community in 2027.
