Un ponte artisticofra Ravenna e Kraguvieac fra Italia e Serbia grazie al Teatro di Figura
A puppet bridge
between Serbia e Italy
La collaborazione fra i due festival nasce nel 2023, ad opera delle due direttrici Roberta Colombo e Jelena Stojanovic’ Patrnogic’, con il desiderio di condividere obiettivi ed estetica e la convinzione che unire gli sforzi non solo avrebbe migliorato la qualità dei rispettivi festival, ma avrebbe anche ampliato gli orizzonti dell’inesauribile creatività di questa forma artistica. Già durante il primo anno di lavoro EFFEA (The European Fund for Emerging Artists), ha sostenuto una compagnia di giovani artisti francesi a presentare il loro lavoro in entrambi i festival. Uno degli obiettivi principali di questa collaborazione è quello di creare una piattaforma dinamica per lo scambio interculturale tra gli artisti Serbi e gli artisti Italiani.Attualmente, i due festival stanno cercando di stabilire una collaborazione a lungo termine basata sulla condivisione di buone pratiche e sullo scambio di competenze.
The collaboration between the international puppet festivals Arrivano Del Mare (Ravenna, Italy) and Golden Sparkle (Kragujevac, Serbia) was conceived in 2023 by directors Roberta Colombo and Jelena Stojanovic’ Patrnogic’, who recognized that they shared similar goals and artistic tastes when it came to puppetry art. This partnership materialized as early as 2024, confirming their belief that uniting their efforts would not only enhance the quality of their respective festivals but also broaden
the horizons of the inexhaustible creativity within this artistic form. Already during their first collaboration, the potential of linking the two festivals was recognized by EFFEA (The European Fund for Emerging Artists), which supported young artists from France in presenting their work at both festivals. The two festivals are committed to supporting artists by providing opportunities to perform at both events, with the
exchange and promotion of emerging talents remaining a central focus. One of the key objectives of this collaboration is to create a dynamic platform for intercultural exchange between Italian and Serbian artists. Currently, the two festivals are seeking to establish a long-term collaboration based on sharing best practices and nurturing the exchange of skills.
