“For the third consecutive year – declared Mayor Biondi – the Cantieri are hosting a show in sign language, created in collaboration with the National Deaf Association, but also ‘From the bars to the stars’ taken from the book of the same name on the theme of goods confiscated from the Camorra, with the participation of Flavio Insinna, already staged in the Rebibbia prison. A review, therefore, in the name of inclusiveness and social theater in the perspective of the year dedicated to the Capital of Culture”.
“An appointment – underlined the director of Tsa Pasotti – which has now become the heart of the L’Aquila summer, created to reclaim public spaces and has become one of the most substantial events in Italy. Thirty days of entertainment, theatre, music and dance, in which city organizations and associations offer truly interesting and unique events for an audience that can find events suitable for every age group and every interest. As Director of the Teatro Stabile d’Abruzzo I am pleased to provide our collaboration again this year to coordinate the programme, the TSA puts itself at the service of the territory with professionalism and conviction”.
“This edition of Cantieri dell’Immaginario will speak straight to people’s hearts through a single language, that of emotions. A unique program of events which includes genres and artistic expressions that are only apparently different from each other. Classical theatre, reading, dance, music in multiple forms – classical, opera, jazz, pop – entertainment and ballet are enclosed in a large and multifaceted bubble that touches our souls, contributing to the common sharing of beauty and talents brought to the stage thanks to the important collaboration, now consolidated, with the territory and its cultural realities which have made professionalism and skills available”, concluded maestro De Amicis.
Details regarding the opening of the online box office for ticket sales for all shows will be announced shortly.
