Project

Pursuing the development of artistic projects with the involvement of local audiences (Culture Programme – 2007-2008 “Teatri Migranti” and 2010-2012 “LAP1”, own productions 2010-2013, “Projet Shakespeare” 2013-2015, “Emerveillement” 2016_2017), they want to continue and consolidate the process towards social art, involving the participation of local inhabitants and communities, artists and cultural operators in order to produce artworks in which each stakeholder of the project could find recognition of himself. They are looking for partners interested in the project with a strong connection with their local audiences and eager to enter the process of “social art”. Each partner could design the process in its own way.
