TRENOff - Open Call

“Fringe” identifies those experiences that are at borders of the common production and distribution system, which ranks as alternative expressions of innovation, experimentation and avant-garde. Fringe is all that is “at the edge”, “from the suburbs”, for this reason Instabili Vaganti who conceived the Festival and will ensure its artistic direction, has chosen as location, one of the most famous suburbs of the city of Bologna: the Barca's area with its public housing complex called “Train” for its architectural form and from which the Festival takes its name.

Divided into artistic and creative coaches, TRENOff offers an international platform to indipendent groups and individual artists who carry out research in the contemporary, trough moments of performance, capable of interfacing directly with urban spaces, changing their function and appearance, with an easy approach and without long preparation, in a happening and performance perspective.

The Festival will take place in a public place, lived, acted by the common people, in a multiethnic, multicultural area, open, like a gesture of breaking into everyday life in order to cross the boundaries between art and life. The Festival is an opportunity for interaction and exchange between artists, audience, actors, and was created with the intent to promote new means of dissemination of contemporary culture through performances ,installations, and all forms of art capable of interfacing with an urban space retrained, rethought and redesigned.
