PASS/AGES

Teatrincorso, Italy

Chamber Hall – Plovdiv Drama Theatre, 7 p.m.

Written and directed by Elena R. Marino

with Silvia Furlan

Pass/ages is dedicated to thinking about aging from a feminine perspective.

Pass/ages is a reflection, through the language of performance, about the fragility and strength of modern women, trapped between society’s ageism (even if apparently “politically correct”) and their inner wisdom.

Pass/ages was selected for Argot Off – rassegna di drammaturgia contemporanea/review of contemporary dramaturgy – Roma.

Teatrincorso has developed pieces based on texts, silent performances, non-dramatic theatre, and physical/visual theatre.

In 2006, with their work Hamlet, the Teatrincorso company took first prize at the Theatre Festival in Rome. Their performance A_Part in 2007 received the Honour Certification from the Jury at the European Women’s Theater Festival in Tornio / Haparanda, Finland/Sweden, and in the same year, with the production Barbablù, they appeared at the Drodesera Festival > Centrale Fies di Dro (TN). In 2008, their play Pinocchio won the Ribalta Award at Teatro Europa in Aprilia (LT).

Their next work Behind the Mirror / Dietro lo specchio – I Believe in Perfection in 2010 was selected for “Altri percorsi” in BOLZANO Teatro Stabile and the project Global Market was selected for the Kantor Award at CRT in Milano.
