ErosAntEros
ErosAntEros was born from the meeting of Davide Sacco and Agata Tomšič in January 2010. Their research pursues an engaged theater that doesn’t give up the aesthetic value of the form, in a strong relationship with the history, the present and the territories in which it is created, with the aim to connect theater to life and make the imagination a tool to transform reality.
