It’s called ‘Futura – If they were just numbers we wouldn’t die of desire’ and it is the event organized by the Bottega degli Apocrifi company, in synergy with the Municipality of Manfredonia to take stock of the results of the theater season, the projects and the cultural policies of a city and a territory. The appointment is for Tuesday 28 May at 8.30pm at the Teatro Comunale ‘Lucio Dalla’.
This is a moment of discussion open to citizens during which the strengths and critical points of a long theater season will be presented. There will be a brief but precise analysis of the ‘functioning’ (who chooses, the funds put in place, the synergies and collaborations), a space to better understand how a city theater fits into the national debate and what it means for the Municipal Theater ‘ Lucio Dalla’ to be the leader of the Artistic Residency Center of the Puglia Region.
Talking about it with the public will be Maria Sipontina Ciuffreda (manager of the second sector of the Municipality of Manfredonia), Paolo Ponzio (president of the Teatro Pubblico Pugliese), Aldo Patruno (director of the tourism department, economics of culture and valorisation of the territory of the Puglia Region), Cosimo Severo (artistic director of Bottega degli Apocrifi), Micaela Granatiero (organizing secretariat of Bottega degli Apocryfi), Alessandro Toppi (journalist and theater critic), Silvia Mei (university professor and head of ‘CUTAM’ of the University of Foggia), Giuseppe Antelmo (theatrical mediator of the Casa dello Spectatore in Rome), Mauro Bruno (manager of the innovation and network development sector of the Puglia Region) and Francesca D’Ippolito (president of C.Re.S.Co. coordination of the realities of the contemporary scene) . The journalist Felice Sblendorio will coordinate the debate.
The meeting will be accompanied, starting from 8.00 pm, by a toast of good luck for the next season.
