The eleventh edition of UniTeatro, the free theatre review organised by the University Theatre Centre of Trieste, thanks to the support of the University of Trieste, is kicking off.

The 2025 edition, scheduled from Tuesday 27 to Thursday 29 May at 9 p.m. at the Amphitheatre of Biology at the University of Trieste's headquarters in via Licio Giorgieri 10, will host the essays of the CUT's Level I and II theatre courses, the result of the work developed during the academic year. The guest of this year's review will be the Ljubljana University theatre group Maschere Nude.

Uniteatro is a theatre festival organised by students for students, free and open to all, which aims to bring the students of the University of Trieste closer to the theatre, bringing engaging performances directly to university spaces. The aim is to overcome the barriers that often keep young people away from the theatre, by offering events capable of capturing their interest and stimulating active participation. Furthermore, Uniteatro fosters exchange and knowledge between CUT members and emerging theatre companies of the same age, and in this case international ones, creating an environment of mutual comparison and growth. After each performance, actors, audiences and organisers get together to exchange ideas, helping to build a dynamic and collaborative youth theatre community.

The Level 1 course group will present the play “2001” on Tuesday 27 May at 9 pm. 2001 was a year like so many others, yet some years imprint themselves in the collective memory with greater intensity. Some historical moments become symbolic and continue to question us even after some time. On stage, led by teacher Valentina Fiammetta: Anna Cal, Marco Basso, Michele Brissi, Mariasofia Capoti, Michaela Carata, Théophile Chhun, Michele Pio Curci, Alice Fissore, Elisa Filippin, Enrico Frausin, Giacomo Fusari, Eleonora Kalinic, Christian Lorenzi, Pietro Maggi, Elisa Morgante, Elettra Gaia Mottola, Anna Paulitti, Giovanni Raume, Caterina Scalise, Tazio Stella, Giacomo Tonet.

On Wednesday 28 May at 9 p.m., the guest group Maschere Nude, an Italian theatre company from the University of Ljubljana, directed by Silvia Viviani, will take the stage with the performance “Studio Duse”. The work is inspired by the figure of Eleonora Duse, an actress who, with courage and initiative, redefined the way of acting and living on the theatre stage. Studio Duse approaches her through the characters she played and the events of her intense private life, restoring her charm with respect and lightness. On stage the students of the course Katarina Krečič, Fabijan Tivadar, Teja Medvešček, Ana Milošeška, Clara Lucia Paolucci, Neža Murovec, Domen Rob, Eva Tofant, Luka Ukmar, Ana Vide. A production of the Department of Romanistics and Department of Translation - University of Ljubljana, in cooperation with the Italian Cultural Institute Ljubljana.

On Thursday 29 May at 9 p.m. it will be the turn of the group from the CUT's second level course, taught by Emiliano Troiano, with the show '79 AD. Chronicles of a swipe up'. While the inhabitants of Pompeii watch the sky darken on the horizon, the eyes of the world swarm over the tragedy, like vultures attracted by the carcass of pain, through the screens of their electronic devices. The catastrophe slowly unfolds, and around it a grotesque representation takes shape, where the real drama is instrumentalised by those who observe and narrate it. A disaster takes on multiple faces, is captured by countless cameras, produces a myriad of reactions. It becomes the object of sharing, of commentary, of consensus expressed in hits of likes, losing, piece by piece, its human dimension and the respect due to genuine pain.
On stage Simone Ermiglia, Alessia Marot, Maria Clotilde Savegnago, Fabrizio Diaz Guerra, Allegra Geraci, Leonardo Edalucci, Giovanni Sani, Anna Smaniotto, Carmen Sabato, Silvia Testa, Giacomo Del Ben, Carolina Bresciani, Ilaria Caramel, Elena Sofia Recio, Giovanni Battista Pastore, Bianca Bucur, Samuele Andreoli, Francesco Vitturi, Giulia Liberalato.
