Teatro Festival Parma (supported by the association Reggio Parma Festival) is a particular space within the Fondazione Teatro Due’s activity that allows to the audience to meet and learn about some enlightening experiences of European and international theatre.
Inaugurated by an outstanding 'Peer Gynt' (Henrik Ibsen/Edvard Grieg) directed by Daniele Abbado, the Festival 2023 programme will be structured on the intertwinement and hybridisation of different languages and will offer uncommon and visionary theatrical experiences: from the renowned baroque opera Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell which will be staged by Théâtre de l'Aquarium under the title 'Le Crocodile trompeur / Didon et Énée', to 'Erwartung' by Arnold Schönberg in a version by Calixto Bieito.
In constant dialogue with kindred artists, both European and international, Fondazione Teatro Due (Parma, Italy) has always been against the simplification of thought, in order to reaffirm the political role of the theatre, deeply convicted that artists are important interpreters of the ongoing processes of change of our present.
