#2.2 GENERATIONS

Hand in hand with the blooming of a number of online publications, a constant and lively dialogue has been established between the young critics and the previous generation in the course of the last eight years. Such collaboration proved itself on different fields: critics in their twenties/thirties have shared pages in newspapers and tables at the symposium with colleagues in their fifties/seventies. Among the frequent interactions, one of the most evident is the creation of Rete Critica, an informal network that aims at gathering all the relevant online publications and also assigns an annual prize to a company and a theatrical project of special interest. One of the most prolific processes is the opening of various workshops, within the frame of festivals or universities (for example at the Venice Biennale, under the lead of Andrea Porcheddu, or many others led by Massimo Marino). Yet, this is only one of the many examples of a vivid exchange between generations in the field of theatre criticism.
