IterCulture APS is a cultural association born to promote the territory and its community through culture and the arts.
Teatri Riflessi Festival is the core of the Teatri Riflessi project: companies from all over the world, a strong presence from the live performing arts sector, and above all, a large audience and opportunities for the community to engage with the contemporary scene and share experiences that stem from viewing, but do not end in passive spectatorship.
Don’t miss the framework of the International Competition of Short Performances, the afternoon meetings, the appointments with dance on video, and works born from contact with the landscape and the Etna community.
From July 12 to 19 in Zafferana Etnea (CT)
The widespread autumn festival deepens the engagement with local communities and landscapes, crossing Sicily from Mount Etna to the Madonie.
From 18 September to 12 December.
From 8 to 21 July 2025, the international performing arts festival Teatri Riflessi invites the contemporary scene to Mt. Etna.
The complete programme of performance, activities, and discussions is out!
Applications are now open for two preparatory paths to the performing arts: a unique way to experience the summer festival.
Youth’ Jury: If you are under 25, this is your chance to engage with peers, companies, and professionals from all over the world, evaluating the works of the International Competition. An intense and enriching experience.
Citizens’ Jury: Become part of a spectator community and develop the tools to actively choose which works and projects to bring to Sicily.
How to participate?
No experience in dance or theater is required, just the desire to discover other perspectives and points of view. For info, write to giuliana.trovato@iterculture.eu
