Racconto Personale
A personal story, like those that happen on the train, in line at the post office, in a waiting room… whenever someone wants to listen and finds themselves discovering how different the lives of others are from ours, and how similar to ours are the emotions, needs and instincts that guide them. We imagined a […]
Storie Meticce
STORIE METICCE is a theatrical project of collected and lived stories, but also a journey within oneself.

Museo Pasolini
According to ICOM (International Council of Museums) the 5 functions of a museum are: research, acquisition, conservation, communication, exhibition. What could a Pier Paolo Pasolini museum be like? In a display case we could put his first poem: of those verses the memory of two words remains “rosignolo” and “verzura”. It is 1929. While Mussolini […]
Cattivo
“I’m afraid. I’m ashamed to say it. Don’t say it, but, I would be more ashamed. I’m afraid because I have hope. Because, absurdly, I feel I have still something to lose.” The text of this monologue comes from the novel by Maurizio Torchio, Cattivi, published by Einaudi in 2015. The author’s second novel, its […]
La cortesia dei non vedenti
“What happens in our lives, what must happen, for something of what we experience – a meeting, a book, a journey, a show – to touch us so deeply that it leaves a mark and becomes part of us?” With this question my meeting with 480 students began, in a beautiful theater in Emilia Romagna. […]
Voci – Ogni isola ha il suo labirinto
Voci is an experiment, an attempt to tell the myth of Arianna and Theseus from a female point of view, searching for the paradigm of isolation and diversity, enclosed within the labyrinth. And it is an imaginary labyrinth that the two actresses evoke through gesture, song and sound, in a story in the form of […]
Pesticidio
Bachisio is a simple man, strongly tied to his land. Together with his wife and son, like many other farmers, he is fighting against a large company, “Bentulare”, which has purchased enormous plots of land throughout Sardinia to cultivate them intensively. His son, Michelangelo, a graduate in agriculture, has been trying for years to combine […]
Gufo Rosmarino al gran circo dei pinguini
It all began when one day, the two penguins, after leaving the writer’s refrigerator where they had been living for a long time, decided to get busy, or rather to do what they knew how to do best: to create a circus. And so, Ric and Pic, with their wings constantly moving and their faces […]
La solita zuppa
A show with texts by Luciano Bianciardi, a writer with a sharp irony and a clear view of the world and the future. The title is taken from the collection of short stories “La solita zuppa e altre storie”, an incriminating story that in the Sixties, when the book was published, was the reason for […]
L’uomo che volle essere Peròn

An extraordinary novel from the […]
Orlando. Furiosamente solo rotolando
A white shirt, a trumpet and a stool: that’s all you need to tell the story of Charlemagne’s paladins and the terrible Saracens. Camps, knights, duels, enchantments, armor, steeds… a whirlwind of battles and pursuits whose engine is always passion, real or imagined, for a woman, a knight, an ideal. Timeless stories of men from […]
Shakespeare and me. Come il Bardo mi ha cambiato la vita
In a very influential book, Harold Bloom claimed that Shakespeare invented the human being: well, I don’t have the tools to confirm this statement. He certainly helped me, and many others like me, to better understand humanity, including my own. The Shakespearean corpus is a map of human relationships ready to use. “Ready to use”, […]
