The Teatro di Napoli – Teatro Nazionale opened selections for TXT MASTERCLASS and TXT MEMETICO, the two laboratories in its TXT LAB programme. According to the Teatro di Napoli, the labs ran from 2 to 5 October 2026 as part of TXT Festival.
TXT MASTERCLASS was led by Linda Dalisi and developed a new collective theatrical text during the festival. TXT MEMETICO was led by Giulio Armeni and Daniele Zinni, with participants producing festival-related memes for the theatre’s social channels and the evening feature “Il Memato del Giorno.”
MASTERCLASS applicants were asked to submit an artistic CV, a motivation letter of no more than one page, and an extract from an original theatrical text of no more than two pages. MEMETICO applicants were asked to submit an artistic and/or memetic CV, a motivation letter of no more than one page, and one to five memes they appreciated; one to five self-created memes or a personal-page link were optional.
The initial deadline was 13:00 on 20 July 2026, and the theatre later extended it to 13:00 on 24 July 2026, according to its 17 July 2026 press release. The 2026 festival is a new Teatro di Napoli project curated by Pier Lorenzo Pisano.
