Programme 11plus1 independent / contemporan debuted in the 2017-2018 season and is now in its third season.

11plus1 independent/contemporan contains a selection of the 12 best independent theatre and contemporary dance performances in the country and brings artists, directors, choreographers, dancers and performers from the independent cultural area to the stage of the Marin Sorescu National Theatre in Craiova, creating an unconventional and diverse cultural environment.

Programme 11plus1 independent / contemporan  of the "Marin Sorescu" National Theatre in Craiova aims to support and encourage the segment of independent theatre and contemporary dance productions, becoming an important springboard for young creators who thus have the opportunity to perform on the stage of a professional cultural institution. At the same time, the public of Craiova is exposed to alternative art performances, many of them with a social and educational impact, which is absolutely necessary in a city where the contemporary dance scene is non-existent.

In 2019 - 2020 season have been selected and invited to National Theatre “Marin Sorescu” six independent theatre performances and six contemporary dance performances:
