The seventh Transit Festival - "Risk - Crisis - Invention" - has now finished; participants from around the world are on their homeward journeys. Once again it has been an intense two weeks, packed with inspiring performances and presentations, as well meetings and reunions. Documentation is slowly being gathered.

The work demonstration The Dead Brother, today, May the 29th 2013, was dedicated by Julia Varley to Franca Rame, a magnificent actress, a great friend, a strong and wonderful woman, who died today.

TheMagdalenaProject@25 - Legacy and Challenge is a collection of writings by women who work in theatre all over the world. It is rare to find such a range of professional experience, age and cultural background in one publication.
