Join us in the creation of Incanti
Incontra Incanti
The experimental project Incontra Incanti is a new INCANTI Festival’s field of activity dedicated mainly to the dialogue between public and artists. It was born as a result of the limitations and difficulties caused by the health emergency and immediately obtained great interest and opened new challenges.
The experiment was interesting and stimulating.
The Festival seeks now to improve and expand this project with new partners with which to approach its scopes: public, artists and programmers choosing together themes, events and actions related to Puppetry’s development both locally and globally and from all possible points of view.
This is why a Crowdfunding campaign started on Eppela between May 13 and June 22, 2021
The first appointments of Incontra Incanti, in order to co-design together with public and artists the future of the Festival, will be held OnLive on zoom and at Orti Generali (Strada del Castello di Mirafiori 38/15):
- Monday 19 July 19 - 20.30h.
- Tuesday 27 July 19 - 20.30h.
To participate it will be enough to book by filling out the form that will be available shortly
- What we want to do: cultivating INCONTRA INCANTI (Meet Incanti)
Thanks to the help of crowdfunding and the collaboration with Orti Generali we want to make Puppet Theatre better known in Turin (and not only in Turin) proposing new ways of enjoying urban spaces under the umbrella of sustainability. Incanti festival points to bring into Orti Generali a world of puppets, marionettes, shadows and theatrical objects, in order to build occasions for both habitual visitors and new affluences to discover aspects of Puppet Theatre beyond the up to date usual stages. Creative aperitifs, co-design workshops, performances in the greens, moments of dialogue about arts and sustainability.
Orti Generali offers the possibility of creating new OnLive appointments within its evocative setting on the banks of the Sangone stream, in the Mirafiori sud district in Turin, widening the opportunities for dialogue, imagination and co-design from a green perspective.

The design of this special INCANTI edition has become an opportunity to directly involve the guest companies and the public in thinking together about it. New ways of enjoyment, ideas for performance’s adaptation to distance, audience and artists has joined in a Creative Forge.
