EVENING EVENTS

LA REGINA DEGLI SPAVENTAPASSERI

Friday 25 September – 9:15 PM ·

Officine CAOS

Performance by ArteMakìa

ArteMakìa, the contemporary circus company founded by director and acrobat Milo Scotton, brings to the stage a language that blends acrobatics, physical theatre, and the poetry of movement. Their creations arise from the encounter between the body, natural materials, and visual imagination: straw, earth, wood, and wind become dramaturgical elements animated through aerial work, comic timing, and acrobatic wonder.

La Regina degli Spaventapasseri tells the story of a farmer and his inseparable companion, who suddenly chooses to abandon her role. The grape harvest becomes ritual and play, a way to fill an unexpected absence. The stage opens like a field to be crossed: bodies that fly, gestures that unravel, a search that becomes dance. ArteMakìa builds a suspended universe where fragility and wonder coexist.

Admission €5 · Reduced €3

IL TEATRO È FESTA… REMO ROSTAGNO

Monday 28 September – 6:00–8:00 PM ·

Officine CAOS

Curated by Officine CAOS and Bruna Pellegrini

An evening dedicated to Remo Rostagno, theatre-maker and pedagogue, a figure who crossed the Italian scene with vision, irony, and radical clarity. Starting from the book Roba da matti by Bruna Pellegrini, the event unfolds through multiple voices: images, testimonies, and memories that restore his generous presence and his way of making theatre as an act of freedom. A celebration that becomes a collective ritual, a way to remember someone who transformed theatre into a place of possibility. Free admission
