Since 2022 ErosAntEros – POLIS Teatro Festival is part of the In-Box national network of theaters, festivals and institutions, which selects and promotes some of the most interesting productions of the Italian emerging scene, supporting the growth of a broad and qualified theatrical demand and supply around emerging theater and contemporary languages.

The selection process for the In-Box 2025-26 open call was held in Siena from 28 to 30 May, offering 91 tour dates distributed across the network’s 55 partners spanning the entire peninsula.


One of the 7 finalists will features at POLIS 2027. The production chosen for the next edition of the festival is UMANƏ, written by and starring Camilla Violante Scheller. It is an irreverent, tragicomic concert-performance, at times defenceless against the void that opens up when we feel powerless in the face of human tragedy, whether collective or personal.
