English translation:new drama / new playwriting
Explanation:
It really depends on whether they mean the new plays put on by these venues or in a more general sense, the new theatre currents being presented. The word "dramaturgia" also has in European drama the sense of "play analysis, drama composition and representation" but it seems to me it is not the case here.
