ORMETE works on the memory of theatre and its history, on the relational specificity of oral sources, and the dialogue between generations.
ORMETE collects, preserves, studies, and shares the stories and memories of the protagonists of twentieth-century theatre.
FRIDA works around the theme of the festival as a memorial machine itself, a place of synthesis and diffraction of knowledge, inheritance, and invention for the polis within the polis.
FRIDA begins with basic research and elaborates its findings through a dynamic platform, a DIGITAL ATLAS that operates on three mutually interactive levels: Event, Backstage, and Memory. Through digital technology, the Atlas aims to provide an innovative device for cultural analysis and mediation, enhancing the arts and preserving cultural heritage.
The project focuses on three festivals of theatre and performing arts that emerged in Italy in the second half of the twentieth century and soon gained significant cultural relevance: the “Festival Internazionale del Teatro Universitario (International Festival of University Theatre)” in Parma (FITU); the “Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of Two Worlds)” in Spoleto (FSpoleto) and the “Festival Internazionale del Teatro in Piazza (International Street Theatre Festival)” in Santarcangelo (FSantarcangelo).
