Physical Theater Festival Chicago is returning this summer from June 2-8 2025, offering 7 days of international, contemporary, visual, and physical theater.
We will be announcing our full line-up on February 24th.
The 11th Edition of Physical Theater Festival was only possible through the generosity of major collaborators like The Chicago Latino Theater Alliance and The International Latino Cultural Center; our producer's board and the generous contributions of individuals like you. Please consider making a donation to help make Physical Theater Festival possible for years to come.
Dedication to Paola Coletto
We would like to dedicate the 10th edition of the Festival to our dear, beloved friend, colleague and mentor, Paola Coletto. Sadly, she passed away this year and her absence is being felt around the globe by all those who were lucky enough to know her. Paola had such an incredibly positive impact upon the Chicago physical theater community and upon the so many students who got the chance to study with her. We are thankful for everything she gave us including joy, curiosity and a deeply held sense of community.
