EUROPEAN OFF NETWORK (EON) was created during the meetings organized by the IETM as a European network of independent theatre companies and artists. Starting off from those meetings, the network has developed autonomously on the basis of the significantly high number of companies which joined it: more than eight hundred theatre, dance and performing arts companies from Europe and beyond, saw an opportunity for creating an international network which could represent the common problems and needs of the fringe theatre and of independent artists.
