babilonia teatri
| Babilonia teatri is one of the most innovative companies of Italian contemporary theatre, already honored of several prizes among which Premio Hystrio 2012 alla Drammatugia, Premio Ubu 2011 as best innovation on theatre / research and dramaturgy, Prize Off del Teatro Stabile del Veneto, Special Prize Ubu 2009.
Founded in 2005, by Enrico Castellani and Valeria Raymond, Babilonia Teatri immediately imposed on the Italian scene for its disrespectful and divergent look on some burning questions and themes, as racism, job, web pornography, urgeing of success, violence or cultural decertification. Castellani and Raimondi are playwrights, authors, directors and most of the time actors of their own works. With its style language and codes, absolutely out of the schemes, the company tries to move thinned and the urgency to interrogate, to emerge the conflicts and tensions putting in short circuit its public. |
