POLIS Teatro Festival has won Call #4 of the EFFEA – European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists call for proposals, promoted by the European Festivals Association (EFA), the most important network of festivals at European level, and with the contribution of the European Union.

For POLIS Theatre Festival 2026, the EFFEA project will be developed in partnership with SAAL Biennaal (EE) and SIRENOS (LT), two leading festivals on the European scene, strengthening an international network dedicated to research and artistic mobility.

This is a fundamental recognition that highlights the work that ErosAntEros has been carrying out for years: thanks to the support of EFA, we have been able to host the work of numerous artists in Ravenna, accompanying their personal and international growth and development.

Within this context, at POLIS 2026 we begin a research phase for the new project by Siim Tõniste, a young Estonian artist working between dance and performance. He will be performing his show, Tivoli.
