There will be twenty-two competing for the position previously occupied by Velia Papa. There were many questions received in response to the call for the new director of Marche Teatro – Theater of significant cultural interest. Yesterday afternoon the deadline to submit your candidacy expired. Now the word passes to the ‘technical’ commission which will have to evaluate the curricula and on whose judgment the final decision of the board of directors will be based. “We expected more or less this number – declares the president Valerio Vico – The applications came from all over Italy, and two from abroad. They are two playwrights. Now it is too early to name names. There is no point in creating expectations. In any case two of the three There are no names that have been circulating for some time (not announced in these columns, while there could be the name of Giuseppe Di Pasquale anticipated by Carlino, ed.). There are those who said that the announcement was exclusive towards women there are also women on the list” (seven, ed.).
In fact it is not a gender issue. “We aim first and foremost at quality. In these twenty years Velia Papa has done well. Now we need someone at least on par, or superior to her. We are one of the 19 theaters of significant cultural interest in Italy. We want to continue to be among the first For this reason, the commission that will judge the candidates is of the highest level, and includes renowned artistic directors, such as Luca De Fusco of the Stabile di Roma. We on the board of directors are professionals in other fields the theatre, intensifying relations with the ministry and strengthening the network with other national theatres. Raising the quality level also means attracting more contributions”. For Vico, another level must also be ‘increased’: that of the symbiosis between Ancona and its theatre. “The Muses are still seen as something separate from the city. In other cities the theater is more experienced, you can breathe the air more. I could mention La Scala, but also smaller cities like Vicenza and Mantua. I was recently in Naples, and I entered the San Carlo. The theater is closed here. Instead it should be able to be visited, both by Ancona residents and by tourists. Among other things, they have a work of art like Trubbiani’s curtain that it works every day. And the Municipality should make a project regarding the square, from which the cars should be removed.”
