To OPEN the city gates to street arts means to bring out the value of open air spaces assigned to social life, to enforce the cohesion inside communities, to improve the local tourist activity, to create new routes for exchange and integration between European countries.

The creation of a international debate, the comparisons between normative and laws, different urban patterns and policies for development and support of street arts, will drive to a new consciousness and will produce new stimulus in administrators and art operators. This route could not be undertaken on a simple regional or local level. Our country, now, is Europe!

Open Street: the winning cooperation.


3 European cooperation projects designed by Open Street have obtained European funding for the 2018-2019-2020 triennium. A total of 1,1 ML euros will be invested in favor of performing arts among Italy, Belgium, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Serbia.



2017 will be remembered as “year of revival” for Open Street aisbl and its activities. After funding the birth of our network in 2010-2012, this year the European Commission have accepted three different applications under the aegis of our international association seated in Brussels.

Performing arts, and in particular the street and circus sector, for the next 3 years, gains important investments that will help festivals, companies and, in general cultural operators in the continent, to develop the European dimension of their activity.

Professional training programs, creations, international showcases and festivals in nine countries will be funded for the three-year period 2018-2020 with a total of € 1.1 million and a European co-financing of € 800,000.

"Poetic Invasion" is a project dedicated to the relationship between performing arts and unconventional places, Coordinated by the City of Montegranaro (in the Italian region of the Marche, seat of the VEREGRASTREET International Festival. The project, of which Open Street aisbl is partner, was supported under the CREATIVE EUROPE programme. The other two partners are the Sibiu International Festival (RO) and the "La Strada" Festival in Bremen (DE). http://open-street.eu/documents/detailed_description_PIC.pdf

Also under CREATIVE EUROPE "Mysteries & Drolls" is a program that aims to rediscover the roots of popular theater whithin the relationship between sacred representation and buffonesque arts. The partnership involves the Municipality of Certaldo with the Mercantia Festival, Belfast's Festival Of Fools, Maracaibo (Spain), Teater A (Proscenium - Poland), the production center of Tempus Fugit (Germany). http://open-street.eu/documents/DETAILED_DESCRIPTION_M&D.pdf

Last but not least, a few weeks ago we had notice that the CE through ERASMUS + programme has funded "Pinocchio Joins The Orchestra (on S.TR.E.E.T.)", a project aimed at teaching symphonic music in the schools and promoting the orchestra as inclusive community, on model of “El Sistema” designed by José Antonio Abreu in Venezuela since the '70s. http://open-street.eu/documents/STREET_Detailed_Description.pdf

The Nobel Jester left us!

Dario Fo, one of the great actors of world popular theater, passed away at the age of 90 years.




The death of Dario Fo, on October 13th, 2016, is a great loss for the European Popular performing arts. Nobel Prize in Literature in 1997 "because, following the tradition of medieval jesters, he mocks the power, restoring dignity to the oppressed", within him the art of buffoon reached very high levels.

His shows make use of the stylistic features of the Italian Commedia dell'Arte and they have been successfully represented on 5 continents. The mythical "Mistero Buffo", a show of 1969, it is one of the best. He was the only actor on stage, recited an imaginative reworking of ancient texts in grammelot, drawing a fun and provocative satire.

Dario Fo has stimulated the birth and spread of Italian Street Theatre movement. It has often championed the liberalization of urban spaces in Italian cities, and the political sentiment has always been a foundation of his shows.

He was not afraid of death: "If anything happens to me, you must explain that I did everything to stay alive !"

Open Street support Rhodes-Dodecanese 2021




Rhodes is at the final selection stage for the title of the European Capital of Culture for the year 2021. Its Candidacy titled “Rhodes/Dodecanese 2021: Journey to the Light” was pre-selected last February among 14 Greek cities, and now competes with Kalamata and Ellefsina. The winner will be designated this coming November.

Open Street aisbl has signed an agreement protocol for cooperation in the project, with the Committee chaired by Nikos Chatzipapas, historical member of the network Open Street, director of the INTERNATIONAL STREET THEATRE FESTIVAL in Athens.

The European Capital of Culture action is part of the Creative Europe Program. It was founded in 1985 by the Greek Minister of Culture, Melina Merkouri, and so far it has been hosted in more than 50 European cities. This initiative has evolved through the years to promote the European identity, cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue, creativity and the Arts.

Each year the title is awarded to a city in each of the two member states designated in the calendar included in the aforementioned Decision. Every three years, another city is selected from a candidate or potential candidate country for joining the EU. For example, in 2021 the event will be hosted in Greece, Romania, and Serbia or Montenegro.

For the latter two countries, the 2021 European Capital of Culture will be NOVI SAD (RS), which is home to one of the festivals that founded the International Association OPEN STREET aisbl: Internacionální FESTIVAL ULICNIH SVIRACA. This is not a coincidence, in our view, given that the street arts help to make the hosting cities more vibrant, capable of a cultural offer addressed to all social catogories, according to a smart and innovative model.
