Teatro dell’Osso ETS invites applications for "The Polyphonic Pulcinella," a 28-day international artistic residency in Naples, Italy, supported by Culture Moves Europe. This residency focuses on exploring the Pulcinella archetype as a shared root of European performance traditions through theatrical anthropology, Grammelot, and physical theatre. Selected artists will collaboratively develop a new multilingual performance, culminating in a public presentation at Teatro TRAM.

The program offers full artistic mentorship, accommodation, access to theatre facilities, and logistical support. Financial support is provided through the Culture Moves Europe grant, covering a daily allowance. Applicants should be artists or cultural professionals aged 18 or older, with at least three years of experience in performing arts, residing in a Creative Europe country outside Italy, and available for the full residency period from April 1 to April 28, 2027. Interest in Commedia dell’Arte and related traditions is highly valued.
