ANDn a statement, the Companhia de Teatro de Braga (CTB), responsible for the organization, says that MIT23 “will be another time of solidarity with Ukrainian artists” and with Teatro de Kershon, “which is fighting for its reopening”.
“MIT23 wants to assert itself as another tool for social cohesion and recognition of the other, through theater, in a city (Braga) that is increasingly plural and diverse, which has the active participation of communities from the most varied latitudes” , he adds.
The exhibition will feature more than 50 artists from seven countries (Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Cyprus, Italy, Ukraine and Portugal), in a total of eight creations and 15 shows.
Performances will be spread across Theatro Circo, in Braga, Teatro Gil Vicente, in Barcelos, and Quinta da Caverneira, in Maia.
“This international show aims to contribute to peace, cultural diversity and social cohesion, through theatrical art”, said the director of the CTB, Rui Madeira.
All shows, with the exception of one in Italian, will be subtitled in Portuguese.
One of the shows will be staged by Ukrainian artists who are refugees in Portugal, under the Project Palco — Uma Casa do Mundo, under the responsibility of CTB, in partnership with the Union of Theater Artists of Ukraine.
Rui Madeira has already said that within two years, in 2025, the event intends to win an O, moving from MIT to MITO, and assuming itself as a “great international festival of classical theater and opera”.
This year, the show should bring together representatives of creative structures and festivals from the 25 countries that make up the Eurasia Theater Association (ETA), a partner structure in the organization of MIT.
From 2025, MIT will have as its privileged stage the ruins of the Teatro Romano, in Braga.
