(ANSA) - UDINE, 15 LUG - The 4th edition of Mittelyoung, the under-30 festival of Central Europe organized by Mittelfest, kicks off tomorrow in Cividale del Friuli (Udine). The festival spans three days of performances until July 18, showcasing the work of young generations and aiming to provide production support to emerging artists. Selected by young curators under 30 from 250 applications received from all over Europe, the nine Mittelyoung performances—two music, two theater, two dance, and three circus—will attempt to interpret "Disorders," the theme chosen for the 2024 edition of Mittelfest by Artistic Director Giacomo Pedini. The festival will bring artists from six countries to Cividale, promising a diverse and captivating experience: Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, and Switzerland. The same panel of curators will select three winning performances featured in the Mittelfest program on July 20, 21, and 22. A new addition for the 2024 edition is a panel of experts evaluating and highlighting the best and most exciting proposals among the nine on the Mittelfest stage. The jurors are experts Alberto Bevilacqua, Veronika Brvar, and Roberto Canziani. The awards ceremony will occur on July 19 at the Church of Santa Maria dei Battuti. Tomorrow's performances include "De Origine" by Gravagna-Fiorucci-Nardiello (Italy), a trio presenting their first album released in April 2024 by Honolulu Records; "Son Tutte Palle" by the Chalibares Circus Company (Italy), offering a wordless theatrical performance featuring juggling, clowning, and acrobatics; and finally "Manual" by Platforma 13 (Romania), a dance show exploring the male body and the mechanisms that perpetuate violence and pleasure, the stereotypes and expectations that plague it, and the transgressions and insecurities that cross it.
