POETIC INVASION FESTIVAL STARTS

70 companies from 15 countries are in competition in 3 sections of Poetic Invasion Festival (Bremen, Sibiu and Montegranaro). Cooperating countries are the main protagonists of program.

The POETIC INVASION FESTIVAL starts today, 8th June 2018, in the absolutely prestigious frame of the SIBIU INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL. The PIC program will be intertwined with that of the biggest cultural event in Eastern Europe until 17th June, experimenting with innovative forms of entertainment in the suburbs and shopping centres of the Transylvanian capital.

Almost at the same time, starting from 9th and 10th June, in Bremen, the artists and companies programmed in the framework of the European project will animate the historic district of the old spinning mills, a suburb of the Teutonic city that covers an important heritage of industrial archaeology, but which usually remains outside of cultural programming. In Bremen the real Kermesse will start on the following weekend, where for 3 days the streets and squares of the city of the famous 4 Musicians will be filled with artists and companies from all over the world for the new edition of LA STRADA International Festival.

Finally, from the 22nd to the 30th of June, the third section of the PIC Festival will see the light in Italy, in the small town of Montegranaro, inside the VEREGRASTREET Festival, an event that celebrates its 20th anniversary. The program of the PIC Festival in Italy includes artistic itineraries between hills and small villages, always looking for a new dimension of encounter between the performing arts and the audience.

In each of these three locations, the POETIC INVASIONS will try to surprise the audience, presenting the most traditional languages of artistic expression with new formulas, aiming to discover the new public in unconventional places. An autonomous artistic program that is hosted within a Festival of great importance and has always been aimed at innovation.

In addition to a very varied program of performance in line with the characteristics of the project, about 70 of the companies that will perform in Sibiu, Bremen and Montegranaro, have signed up to the new platform www.poeticinvasion.eu, implemented by Open Street aisbl, and will be voted from the public. In each of the 3 locations of PIC FESTIVAL, the artistic proposal that will receive the best rating, will have the opportunity to participate in the other festivals of the network.

POETIC INVASION (Of the Cities) is a project of the Municipality of Montegranaro implemented with the support of Open Street aisbl, in partnership with Teatrul National Radu Stanca (Sibiu, RO), Neue Gruppe Kulturarbeit eV, (Bremen, DE) and co-funded by European Union under the CREATIVE EUROPE program. During the 3 years of the project there will be many opportunities to participate in the activities, especially for the companies of the cooperating countries.
