Itaca is an additional place whose characteristic consists in its being immaterial. On this stage, events are created using unusual methods, for example projects involving multiple artists who are physically located in different places, and Itaca presents itself as a kind of transceiver station that sends, and at the same time receives, texts, sounds, images. This allows us to address a transversal audience, both in terms of composition, ranging from hackers to institutions, and from a geographical point of view. A continuous webcasting where one of the key words is precisely “dramaturgy”.

Within Itaca, Linux is widely used, an open and free operating system, one of the most beautiful adventures in the world of technologies and networks. Theatre is conceived, therefore, as a network where stage writing is characterised by a continuous balance among all the elements of the work: text, sound, light, metre, actor, physical and electronic space, digital technologies, programming of interactive systems. The site is conceived as a navigation within an archipelago where the islands appear and disappear depending on the projects and the paths. Itaca is an island and a mythological place that is part of our collective heritage.

It is a place that is always open, visual and sonic at the same time, a machine that must allow the traveller to become interpreter and builder of these paths by recombining materials in a creative way and proposing their own texts, images, sounds. Itaca is a room located right above the ancient stage of the Teatro Argentina (inaugurated in 1732).
