This year we are excited to explore the importance of global dialogues and building and maintaining connections abroad by focusing on international work—specifically from European countries—being done in Chicago at the storefront level. Patrizia Acerra, Artistic Director of Premiere Theatre and Performance and the International Voices Project; Bergen Anderson, Managing Artistic Director of Akvavit Theatre; Beata Pilch, Artistic Director of Trap Door; and Jacqueline Stone, Artistic Director of TUTA will discuss the unique opportunities and challenges faced in sourcing, producing and performing international work. From building relationships with artists, to translating new work, to planning an international tour, they will speak as to why exploring these works, cultures, and traditions are important to them and the greater Chicago community.
Moderated by Kris Vire, Theater Editor, Time Out Chicago.
