(In)different Journey
A project of training, experimentation and study of theatrical tools to be shared with disabled people.
This section contains the main exhibitions that we have set up to complete larger projects since 2003.
The faces of Pier Paolo Pasolini, for example, is an exhibition created in collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna and is part of the Pier project Paolo Pasolini Poet of Ashes organized in 2007 in New York. A Vimmerby and back is instead a path dedicated to Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking. In 2007 we were the only institution in Italy to celebrate the birth of this important Swedish writer with an Italian-Swedish show and show Pippi Longstocking. Over the years, this production has become an evergreen, awarded in 2007 with the Agis Eti Gold Ticket.
We also paid homage to the work and life of some significant characters for us, for their artistic vocation and personal friendship. The exhibition dedicated to the theater by Gianni Rodari, to the multifaceted figures of Emanuele Luzzati and Beni Montresor, fits into this context.
The exhibition that we want to dedicate to Paolino Libralato, performer of sets and great works who still moves with authentic craftsmanship, is in the definition phase.
