“Art, good art, wonderfully manages to combine the absolutely unique with the universal. It allows us to understand what is different – what is foreign, one might say – as universal. In doing so, art transcends the boundaries between languages, geographic regions, and countries, bringing together not only the individual qualities of each, but also, in another sense, the individual characteristics of every group of people, such as every nation. (…) War and art are opposites, just as war and peace are. It is simply so. Art is peace.”
Jon Fosse, from the Message for World Theatre Day 2024

The title of the Teatro Stabile di Torino’s 2024/2025 Season, Atto unico, is inspired by this message from the Norwegian author, awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2023. It aims to express, in resonance with Fosse, the necessity and urgency of prioritizing diversity and differences, making them coexist in a single space.
