Energie Nove 2026
Date of the event:
Energie Nove is the theatre showcase promoted by the Teatro Stabile di Torino (Tst) and hosted in the Sala Piccola of the Fonderie Limone in Moncalieri, dedicated to independent emerging companies and to young artists who trained at the Turin playhouse's school. The 2026 edition, the second, runs from 12 to 29 November and is curated by Diego Pleuteri, the Tst's junior artistic director [1].
The programme
The showcase presents sixteen productions, two each evening, aiming to highlight a theatre scene in constant change. The shows range across original plays, reinterpretations of classics, performance and dance [1].
Closing the programme, from 24 to 29 November, is the premiere of Tennessee Williams's "The Notebook of Trigorin", directed by Leonardo Lidi and performed by the students of the Tst's Actors' School. Williams wrote the text in 1981 in dialogue with Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull"; in the production, Lidi brings together the poetic research on the two authors that has run through his career on several occasions [1].
The title and its inspiration
The showcase's name is inspired by the magazine of the same name founded by Piero Gobetti, which championed a cultural, ethical and artistic renewal open to Europe. The project is part of the Teatro Stabile di Torino's commitment to training and supporting new generations of artists, offering production space and opportunities for visibility [1].
Diego Pleuteri explained that the second edition "stems from an interest in diversity and presents seventeen shows ranging across original plays, reinterpretations of classics, performance and dance, without forcing these different artistic experiences into a single discourse." The goal, according to the junior artistic director, is "to explore a plural and constantly evolving new Italian scene," bringing the performers' work into dialogue with established directors and with personal research developed away from the spotlight [1].
