The Torino Fringe is a multidisciplinary performing arts festival that involves the entire Piedmont region, making it a showcase and a point of reference both nationally and internationally for Off Theatre. Established in 2013, following in the footsteps of major European off festivals, it has involved over 350 national and international companies over the years, with more than 2,500 performances in 75 indoor and 40 outdoor spaces in Turin, attracting over 150,000 spectators.

The festival has always aimed to enhance the enjoyment of live performance culture and improve the quality of artistic proposals in the performing arts landscape, developing a new way of creating culture characterized by its cross-genre and contemporary creative languages.

The festival’s artistic direction develops the event’s programming through a multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral system based on the dialogue between different art forms and the dissemination of live performance.

To promote the distribution of shows, the Fringe in Rete project started in 2019: cultural operators and artistic directors from all over Italy attend the festival’s performances, participate in meetings with artists, and commit to making circuit agreements with selected companies. The network aims to drive professional growth opportunities, create occasions for meetings, exchanges, discussions, and training. Debates and reflections open to artists and the public are also planned: thematic conferences and workshops led by industry experts and professional meetings are offered.

The thirteenth edition of the Festival will take place from 20TH May to 1st June 2025. The shows for the 13th edition will be selected through this call.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION:

Individual artists or companies of any nationality can participate, with shows in any language, published or unpublished. All genres of live performance are accepted.
Only professional artists and companies with ex-ENPALS agibility or otherwise contracted according to current legislation are allowed.
Each artist/company can submit only one application: in case of multiple applications, all will be considered ineligible.
By participating in this call, selected artists/companies are required not to present the proposed show within the municipalities of the Metropolitan City of Turin in the period before the festival, i.e., from January 2025. Studio works will not be accepted, only finalised shows. Amateur productions are excluded.

1) INDOOR

For the INDOOR category, shows available for 6 consecutive performances suitable for indoor spaces of all genres (a complete list of genres is available in the online form) can apply.
