Opening night of Play it again In Scena! with the In Scena! Award presented to Angelina Fiordellisi and Susan Macaluso and the Award Ceremony of the Mario Fratti Awards for emerging Italian playwrights. Readings from the plays winners: Crumbs of Joy by Giorgia Brusco (2020), When men were men by Luca Garello (2021), Apartment 2B by Andrea Cioffi (2022). The winning authors will be at the ceremony.
Laura Caparrotti, artistic Director, stated: “This year, the Festival in its coming back edition looks like the times we live in. We put together piece by piece by adding week by week a new event while waiting for what else was opening and when. We ended up with a hybrid version of the Festival including two locally produced Mario Fratti Award winners plays, the Mario Fratti Award 2020, 2021 and 2022 ceremony and three shows coming from Italy. Even if slightly different, we still bring the best of Italy to the United States and we cannot wait to share it with our audience.”
Each year In Scena! presents a survey of the best Italian theater from Italy, in New York City. The festival features full productions that have already toured in Italy as well as readings of Italian plays in translation, lectures and exchanges between Italian and International artists. The goal is to promote greater awareness of Italian theater and Italian artists among New York theatergoers, and to build a bridge between the artistic scenes in Italy and New York.
In 2013 Kairos Italy Theater, the preeminent Italian theater company in New York City, created In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY, the first Italian theater festival to take place in all five New York City boroughs and beyond. The festival’s first edition was part of the 2013 Year of Italian Culture in the United States. The festival has since become an annual event. www.inscenany.com
