Nomas Foundation continues its research on languages within the visual arts by bringing into focus Theatre.
Over a period of three months, and distributed in three live events and two workshops, A Theatre Cycle have reflected on the legacy, dialogue, and discrepancies between visual art and theatre, by focusing on the practice of a selection of artists who address the specificity of theatrical language in its diverse aspects. Dramaturgy, choreography, composition, representation, masquerade, dialogue, interlude, voice, body are some of the issues articulated by the artist’s interventions, which will each, in their specific development, underline the relationship between the stage as an exhibition space, the audience’s position, and the experience of the live act.
A Theatre Cycle is developed in collaboration with Teatro Valle Occupato, which acts both as a venue where the performances take place and as a specific context to respond to, being the theatre a space reclaimed by a community of actors and theatre workers, recently regained for the citizens of Rome.
While reflecting on the mutual dialogue between vocabularies and languages, investigating the relationship and shared dimensions of fields and researches, A Theatre Cycle additionally aims at providing the evidence of an authentic exchange among figures, voices and professions. The project was entirely built through a participated platform and stems from the collaboration between Nomas Foundation, the artists, and the whole collective of the Teatro Valle Occupato.

Teatro Valle Occupato is the oldest theatre in the city of Rome, closed for budget cuts, it has been reclaimed by a group of actors and technicians in June 2011. For the past two years it has offered to the city a continuous programming as well as being an experiment in participatory democracy by the inception of a constitution of a collectively run and participatory based developed foundation.
