Classi(s)cisms – Mythical Circus walk national premiere
Written and directed by Milo Scotton, with the participation of the acrobats of the ArteMakìa Company.
Starting from Classical Greek Mythology, with the aim of generating a real reflection on current human values, this surprising happening will bring to life the protagonists of the best-known classical Greek myths, revisited and transposed into comic and poetic circus language. The circus walk includes spectacular installations with statues that come to life as the public passes by, telling heroic dramas through breathtaking acrobatics and music, supported by a visual system and scenic effects specifically designed to enhance each of the creations.
A multisensory experience with the extraordinary participation of the musician Sara Terzano and her Enchanted Harp. The live performing arts will be accompanied by bar stations with cocktails with flavors and aromas inspired by the mythological paintings represented by “Il Confessionale” – Mix & Vermouth Bar.

Free thinker, activist and politician, Olympe de Gouges challenged the French Revolution by exposing the hypocrisy of a narrative written by the victors, male and wealthy. Inégalité, balanced between show and electropop concert, retraces its extraordinary history to delve into the paradoxes of the myth on which our liberal and progressive West is based.

Via del Popolo
Another regional premiere with Saverio La Ruina
UBU Award 2023 – Best new Italian text Lighting design Dario De Luca
Via del Popolo, a stretch of road in a southern town that was once teeming with activity: two bars, three food shops, a blacksmith, a carpenter, a restaurant, a cinema… Two men walk along Via del Popolo, a man of the present and a man of the past. The first takes 2 minutes to travel 200 meters, the second 30 minutes. It is the small Italian city that has changed, it is the globalized society. Shops have been replaced by shopping centers and the end of retail has taken away jobs, destroying a social model still based on personal relationships.

Roots
text by Alba Maria Porto and Giulia Ottaviano, directed by Alba Maria, with Mauro Bernardi, Giorgia Coco, Federica D’Angelo, Lydia Giordano, Adele Tirante
The minutes of the feminist meetings that took place in a province in the Sicilian hinterland starting from 1975 are contained in a notebook with the words “Feminist Coordination of Enna” on its cover. The original dramaturgy takes inspiration from this document and narrates two stories that proceed in parallel: that of the women of the Feminist Coordination of Enna and, nowadays, that of a young man who discovers his origins – until then kept hidden from him by his family – and sets off in search of his own story and meets a young woman with whom share experiences and reflections. Radici reflects on the historical value of the feminist movement in Italy and addresses the theme of the parent-child relationship and inheritance.
