Rho – While the Teatro Civico de Silva festival is about to end, with the last events of T-Off, the Secure yourself to the seats, the theater and performance review of the grassroots realities of the Rhodes area now in its seventeenth edition. Rho is increasingly a city of theater and many are passionate about it, starting from the little ones.
The 2024 program includes the shows of the fifth classes of the Salvo D’Acquisto Primary School, who will stage their five-year journey, and the forty actors of the newly formed theater group of the Tommaso Grossi Secondary School, who will debut with “Ad astra”.
The protagonists are increasing but also the locations: in Rho the Theater of the Civic Center of Lucernate, the Centrho and the Conference Hall of Corte Rustica in Villa Burba, in Arese the Multifunctional Hall of the Agorà Civic Center, finally in Lainate the Ariston Urban Center.
The theme chosen for this review is the margin, the border, the limit of belonging. Theater encourages reflection, thus “The silver path” helps to grasp the line that separates life and death, “Antigone” focuses on the boundary between human and natural laws, “Down on the Hill” on the margin of prejudices that hinder integration, “Two destinies” finally, on the possible love between countries on both sides of the Mediterranean “Wasted Youth” on the demarcation between group and herd, between being and appearing.
“Securing the 2024 seats – explains the artistic director Massimiliano Mancia – it involves professional and amateur companies, school groups, theater schools, associations, centers for the disabled and psychiatric and inclusion projects. Our objectives are to promote theatrical language as a practice of active, supportive and responsible citizenship and to consolidate the role of the Rhodes area as theatrical and vital center of Lombardy.
