1989 / 1993
Il Independent theatre

Manifesto 1991 Succi

“Luoghi d’intesa” (agreement places) is the name of the first edition under Antonio Attisani’s direction, re-elected eight years after his past and unlucky edition.
The direction of an intellectual and a theorist after years when the Festival was shaped by a director’s sensibility with a strong practical mark allows some detachment and the view to widen.
Peculiarity of this phase is the impulse to extend the idea of theatre of research to different contemporary languages, even to go over the border of theatre, to make Santarcangelo a crossroads or, exactly, a “Luogo d’intesa”.
The independent theatre Attisani refers to in his preliminary remarks excludes bonds linked both to market and political belongings.
Critic heterogeneity rather than poetic uniformity, solidarity rather than a joint and collective dimension. This is a turning point accompanied by big controversy the director answer with titles containing a strong idea of a renewed Festival through a revision of its origin: through the names of the five editions they will talk about “Lavori in corso” (works ahead), “Lavoro d’arte comune” (common work of art), “Teatro per bande e predatori solitari” (theatre for bands and lone predators), “Voci umane sempre presenti” (human voices continuously present), “Santarcangelo dei Teatri d’Europa” (Europe’s Santarcangelo dei Teatri).
Attisani’s fellow travellers are Daniele Brolli, Giorgio Sebastiano Brizio, Walter Valeri first and Umberto Artioli then, Stefano Casi, Alberto Melucci, Mario Perniola, Valentina Valentini, Paolo Zenoni.
