Summary/Abstract: Santarcangelo Festival Internazionale del Teatro in Piazza (10-19 Jul 2015) is one of the most important independent theatre festivals in Italy. This year's edition focused predominantly on two problems: “The first was the question of art – its agency and […] the resulting ethical and political responsibility of the creators and viewers. The second theme was the mutual relationship between the body and the archive”. Tórz concentrates on five artistic events of the festival: Tino Sehgal's triptych Untitled (2000), a project by Milo Rau and his International Institute for Political Murder entitled Breivik's Statement, Arkadi Zaides' Archive, Silvia Calderoni's monodrama MDLSX and Markus Öhrn's performance Azdora.
