From 17 to 20 April Apulian and Albanian theater operators and institutions meet in Barletta
Overview

From 17 to 20 April Apulian and Albanian theatrical operators and institutions meet in Barletta with the aim of sharing opportunities, common production and commercial objectives and for cooperation between key players in the theatrical sector.

 

The activity is part of the cross-border cooperation project "Tournee Plus", funded by the Interreg IPA CBC Italy-Albania-Montenegro Program, which sees the Municipality of Barletta as leader in partnership with the Municipalities of Tirana and Fier in Albania. The Teatro Pubblico Pugliese, Regional Consortium for Arts and Culture, supports the Municipality of Barletta in the role of technical assistance.

 

For the occasion, the guests, all directors or managers of Albanian municipal theaters, were invited to attend a series of theater and music performances previously scheduled in Barletta by theater operators and to participate in a B2B with Apulian colleagues to verify the possibility of exchanges of shows, future co-productions, artistic collaborations,  organizational and technical between Albania and Puglia.

 

The Tournée Plus project, had a prologue in the previous weeks, on the occasion of a workshop held by Miltiadh Kutali, full professor of the University of Arts of Tirana, which involved teachers and students of the Schools of Barletta "Cassandro-Fermi-Nervi", "Leontine and G. De Nittis" and the "Carlo Cafiero" High School. 

 

Already on that occasion, on March 16, a first meeting was held between Kutali and some Apulian theater companies.
