Teatri Riflessi, organized by IterCulture, has issued its 2027 international call for short performances. The festival will take place in Zafferana Etnea, Sicily, from 13 to 18 July 2027, and is dedicated to live works of contemporary dance, theatre, circus, or multidisciplinary performance that do not exceed fifteen minutes. The call is open internationally and carries no submission fee. Selected works will be presented before an audience that includes numerous Italian and international professionals—theatre and festival directors, dance network coordinators, programmers, and residency centres—making the competition a concentrated point of contact between artists and the institutional figures who shape programming and support. The curatorial frame is the theme of constellations. IterCulture describes this imagery as a living web of invisible bonds: not isolated points in the sky, but a network of relationships that precedes us, flows through us, and connects us to others and to the landscapes we inhabit. The festival asks artists to reaffirm the value of connection as a daily practice and a political choice, to reflect on our place within a complex ecosystem, and to explore how the performing arts can render these interdependencies visible—transforming gestures and encounters into acts of care, responsibility, and shared hope. This is not a decorative motif but a curatorial argument about relationality, ecology, and the ethical weight of performance. For the selected artist, the immediate offer is a place in the competition programme during the festival dates, with the attendant exposure to a professional audience. The call does not specify a cash prize, production budget, or fee; those details are not provided in the verified information. What is clear is the format: a short live work, presented in Sicily, within a thematic frame that rewards conceptual coherence and formal economy. The festival’s emphasis on connection and care suggests a preference for works that operate through relation—between performers, with the audience, and with the specific landscape of Zafferana Etnea—rather than through spectacle alone.
