Since 1999, the Roberto Cimetta Fund, named after an Italian theater director, has been one of the major players in the mobility of artists and cultural operators in the Mediterranean countries.
The Fund is named after the late Roberto Cimetta, a well-known and respected director and theatre-maker, who was at the origin of many initiatives that contributed to the development of the international theatre community: the Inteatro festival in Polverigi (Italy), IETM (Informal European Theater Meeting), the ACARTE program of the Gulbenkian Foundation in Portugal for contemporary performing arts.
In more than 20 years, the FRC has enabled the mobility of nearly 2000 people.
