Campus 2007

For the first time, a theater festival will be hosting a campus dedicated to university students from European and Mediterranean nations. The project, planned by the Biennale di Venezia and the Università Ca' Foscari, will form part of the festival - Goldoni and the new theatre, to be held in Venice from July 18 to 29.

Backed by the Biennale di Venezia, Goldoni and the new theater will provide an opportunity to explore the roots and resources of modern theater through the works of this great Venetian playwright on the 300th anniversary of his birth. The aim is to underline a European cultural memory, but also to stimulate new and free rewritings.

The campus forms part of the development desired by the director, Maurizio Scaparro for the Biennale Teatro, who seeks to stimulate a lively rapport between theatre and the young in every form possible.
