TURIN. A season, the 2024-2025 one, which celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Foundation of the Teatro Stabile di Torino and the 50th anniversary of the Centro Studi with – not surprisingly – 70 titles proposed, including 24 productions and co-productions with 12 national premieres, 46 hospitality and 15 shows for Torinodanza Festival. The programme, under the aegis of the title “Atto Unico”, points to the future while looking at the past, proposing heterogeneous titles in the name of contamination and comparison between different artistic identities, focusing on classical but also contemporary authors.
The inauguration will be «Things I Know to Be True» by Andrew Bovell directed by Valerio Binasco, artistic director of the Tst, which will be welcomed at the Carignano Theater from 7 to 27 October with protagonists – over that Binasco himself – also Giuliana De Sio and a large group of actors.
