The story of Kohlhaas is a true story that happened in 16th century Germany, written by Heinrich von Kleist in memorable pages. In my oral storytelling it is as if I had added to the recognizable bony skeleton of Kleist's story structure, nerves, muscles and skin that no longer come from the original author but from my experience, theatrical and narrative, from my world of visions and poetics. So for example the whole metaphor about the circle of...

Inspired by Richard Feynman - famous American physicist, Nobel Prize winner in 1965 for the development of quantum electrodynamics - and dedicated to our children, the show is a Jet Propulsion Theatre production of the Arditodesìo Company, created in collaboration with the Laboratory of Communication of Physical Sciences of the Department of Physics of the University of Trento. A professor climbs through some of the most mysterious concepts of ...

The general theme is contemporary war, the subject is inspired by the biography of some of the 53 Italian soldiers who died in Afghanistan during the ISAF mission (2001-2014), the voice is that of their mothers. The mothers bear witness with devotion to the lives of their children who are no longer with us, they redraw their character, behavior, ideals. They build an altar of personal memories that overflows with a natural love for life. They loo...

Her world is the tailor's table. Peeking through the buttonholes, you can glimpse the fabric of a thousand stories. Between rag dolls and dancing mannequins, Gardi Hutter sews the plot of the show without sparing us scissors and nastiness. In the sewing box, abysses open up and with so many spools, even destiny can lose the thread... Gardi Hutter and Michael Vogel create, with LA SARTA, a theatrical piece about the Finiteness of being and the...

Marbleland is a scathing theatrical monologue, with original music, dedicated to the theme of the exploitation of the Apuan Alps. A colorful fresco of different voices, as many as the professions and figures of the world of the Carrara quarries, of yesterday and today. The show is born from a year of research and 80 hours of interviews with marble workers and people who have always lived and breathed it. The result is a text of denunciation in th...

Usually, the word “courage” is associated with a striking action, dictated by an urgent need, an action that challenges death and takes it over, showing a luminous human presence. It is the “numinous” courage, visible, shown, that happens in extreme conditions, and that then becomes an epic, a story, an example. But there is another type of courage, silent and unobtrusive, and it is this declination of the word Courage that this show wa...

They called them “sos laribiancos”, “those with white lips”: it was the distinctive, unmistakable sign of the poor people of Arasolè, a small village in Sardinia, bordering the forests of Goceano. Sos laribiancos were immediately recognizable: they ate little meat, few carbohydrates, few proteins… they ate too little. The show was born from a deep interest and consideration for the work of Francesco Masala. On several occasions the p...

Mai Morti is a “dark fable” that provokes discussion, anger, division, emotion and moving. With evocative writing, Renato Sarti retraces our recent history through the tales of a never-repentant fascist. Bebo Storti has been entrusted with the difficult task of giving voice to this nostalgic for the “good deeds” of the twenty-year Fascist period, today personally committed to defending public order against viados, non-EU citizens, gypsie...

Research. Writing. The stage. Meetings. Data. Testimonies. Remembering. Reordering. Rethinking. Opening our archives to each other and rediscovering where stories and characters were born. Returning together to the places and moments in which life seemed so powerful and fragile that it could become theater. “What I remember, what I still remember now about Giuseppe, because for me he never died, he is still alive, I see him in every ...

Pósidos, “treasures”, is the result of research into the storytelling methods of the elderly narrators of Scano Montiferro, a town in central-western Sardinia. The stories of Pósidos speak of saints, of bandits, they take us back to a time, not too far away, when it was still common for the dead, sas animas (the souls), to appear to the living, when Montiferru was a single large forest, before the arrival of the teams of woodcutters sent by...

An emigrant who made his fortune abroad and, now that he is dead, is returning to the village to be buried. While waiting, the railway worker tells his jokes, the ones he has collected from travellers. Unknown people who arrive and leave without leaving anything but their own...
