A rhythm that is that of a stubborn thought caught in recursive ruminations; a flow of breath that stirs the body at the moment of speaking; a headless music that seems to have found its proper measure\, perhaps\, only in maniacal and endless rewritings and rereadings. \nFor information and reservations\, call 3280527856 or 3406688091\, email\n\, or visit spaziorimediato@gmail.com\nwww.facebook.com/spaziorimediato\nwww.instagram.com/spazio_rimediato URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/all-the-necessary-superfluities-poems-phocomelic-poems/ LOCATION:Makeshift space\, 24 Fontesecco Street\, L'Aquila CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/timpano-poemi-focomelici-2-1-marzo.png ORGANIZER;CN="Ricordo ets Social Promotion Association (Le Mantidi Collective/Spazio Rimediato)":MAILTO:spaziorimediato@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260223T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260223T103000 DTSTAMP:20260824T051913 CREATED:20260112T092351Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T092351Z UID:6602-1771842600-1771842600@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:New Perspectives: Odyssey DESCRIPTION:A production that\, while remaining faithful to one of the most classic works of world literature\, highlights its deeply human conflicts through its staging\, and delves into the very human emotions of both mortals and gods\, bringing to light the fragility of both\, as well as their fears\, desires\, the benevolent or malevolent temptations that alter the history of a people or the fate of an individual.\n\nA production by the Teatro Stabile d’Abruzzo and Teatro Lanciavicchio URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/new-perspectives-odyssey/ LOCATION:Foyer of the “V.

A character who seems predictable at first glance but is deeply enigmatic—one who has managed to draw an entire social context into the existential vortex of emotions. In a train station waiting room—a place of arrivals and departures\, a crossroads of lives—she reappears\, ready to confront her own experiences\, drawing passengers into a theatrical interplay: life bursting onto the stage and the stage bursting into everyday life. The audience is transported into Tolstoy’s great novel\, revealing the intimate\, human\, spontaneous\, true\, and timeless essence of the characters. Anna’s journey into herself—through her love for Count Vronsky and her conflict with her husband Karenin—is the journey of many of us; once again\, the director uses literature to explore the human soul\, and in this case\, a universal emotion: passion. \nSeven Cults Theater Company\, Rome\nDirected by Filippo D’Alessio\nArtistic Director: Manuele Morgese \nTickets at https://www.cinemazeta.it/ URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/free-flight-anna-karenina/ LOCATION:Zeta Cinema and Theater\, Via Rodolfo Volpe\, General Partnership\, L'Aquila\, Monticchio\, AQ\, 67100\, Italy CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/LOC-ANNA-KARENINA.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Teatro Zeta Aps - Ets":MAILTO:teatrozeta@hotmail.it END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260222 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260223 DTSTAMP:20260824T051913 CREATED:20251210T124318Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251210T124318Z UID:7057-1771718400-1771804799@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:All the Necessary Extravagance: “The Bremen Town Musicians” DESCRIPTION:Interactive workshops aimed at creating a real-time theatrical performance\, featuring primary school students. \n For information and reservations\, call 3280527856 or 3406688091\n Or spaziorimediato@gmail.com\n www.facebook.com/spaziorimediato\n www.instagram.com/spazio_rimediato URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/all-the-necessary-extravagance-the-bremen-town-musicians/ LOCATION:Makeshift space\, 24 Fontesecco Street\, L'Aquila CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/brema-12-aprile.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Ricordo ets Social Promotion Association (Le Mantidi Collective/Spazio Rimediato)":MAILTO:spaziorimediato@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260221T210000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260221T210000 DTSTAMP:20260824T051913 CREATED:20251210T122445Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251210T122445Z UID:7050-1771707600-1771707600@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:All the Necessary Extravagances: “Jim and Me” DESCRIPTION:By Giuseppe Tomei\, with Davide Grillo\, Marco Valeri\, and Riccardo Biscetti\, a performance and theater workshops centered on the themes of irony\, philosophy\, and rediscovering the meaning of life. \nIn a dystopian future\, the echoes of ’60s rock still manage to throw open the doors of perception\, but what they reveal might be more unsettling than any reality. An ironic\, psychedelic\, and musical journey through the fears and anxieties of the modern age.\nThe show is the result of a collaboration between musician Riccardo Biscetti\, Spazio Rimediato\, and I Guastafeste\, directed by Marco Valeri. This creative synergy has led to the creation of an original script that combines contemporary technologies\, spoken-word theater\, dramaturgy\, and narrative\, musical\, and interpretive experimentation; by analyzing the latest innovations in communication—particularly artificial intelligence—the goal of this National Premiere is to create a synergistic catharsis with the audience\, who will find themselves immersed in a hypothetical reality rich with infinite possibilities but equally fraught with unsettling existential doubts. The show\, with its lighthearted and engaging tone\, gradually shifts toward an intense and impactful finale. \nFor information and reservations\, call 3280527856 or 3406688091\, email\n\, or visit spaziorimediato@gmail.com\nwww.facebook.com/spaziorimediato\nwww.instagram.com/spazio_rimediato URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/all-the-necessary-extravagances-jim-and-me-2/ LOCATION:Makeshift space\, 24 Fontesecco Street\, L'Aquila CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/io-e-jim.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Ricordo ets Social Promotion Association (Le Mantidi Collective/Spazio Rimediato)":MAILTO:spaziorimediato@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260221T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260221T183000 DTSTAMP:20260824T051913 CREATED:20251219T101843Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251219T101843Z UID:6267-1771698600-1771698600@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:ItARTS Festival - Back to L'Aquila: "The Master Painters" DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Nicola Fano’s book *La candela di Caravaggio*\, *Dei Maestri dipintori* is a musical theater production that brings to the stage the dramatic power of three masterpieces of Italian painting\, exploring the timeless dialogue between the visual arts\, music\, and the spoken word: *The Battle of San Romano* by Paolo Uccello\, *Il Mondo Novo* by Giandomenico Tiepolo\, and *Grande rosso* by Alberto Burri. \nLibretto & Dramaturgy: Giuliano Compagno\nMusic by: Giordano D’Alfonso\, Christian Fantone\, Giacomo Gustavino\, Federico Lavista Stage\nDirector: Francesco Saponaro\nAssistant Director: Salvatore Scotto d’Apollonia\nSet & Costume Design: Chiara Patriarca\, Paolo De Simone\, Monica Del Duca\, Angelica Petrucciani\, Marta Silvi\nConductor: Giordano De Nisi\nActors: Nicola Conforto\, Federica Totaro Dancers: Flavio Ferruzzi\, Marianna Moccia\nSingers: Wu JinJi\, Ko Seungyeon\, Tonino Crisciotti\nMusicians: Raffaele Appolloni\, Fabrizio Carradori\, Matteo Fracassi\, Sara Lukaci\, Agnese Pacelli\, Emanuele Pio Piga \nAdmission by reservation only.

For his performance in this monologue\, the lead actor\, Filippo Luna\, received the 2010 National Association of Theater Critics Award for achieving “a perfect blend of stage presence and acting that captures both emotion and disillusionment.” “Le mille bolle blu” tells the story of Nardino and Manuele—the former a barber in the suburbs\, the latter a lawyer: they meet as very young men in the barbershop where Nardino works as an apprentice under his father’s watchful eye and Manuele is the son of a wealthy client. It is the early 1960s—precisely the period when Mina’s hit “Le mille bolle blu” was all the rage. Destined for predetermined social and family roles (those of irreproachable husbands and caring fathers)\, the two carry on a thirty-year relationship of love and passion that is fueled in part by the secrecy in which it is lived—a secrecy that is both its lifeblood and its torment. Manuele’s death from illness becomes the pretext for Nardino—unable to openly mourn the man he loved or to cry out his grief to the world—to retrace certain moments from those thirty years\, amid nostalgia and bitterness\, anger and tenderness. An altar of memories that affirms the universality of that feeling beyond all barriers and preconceptions. “Le mille bolle blu” is adapted from the short story of the same name by Salvatore Rizzo himself\, originally published in the volume “Muore lentamente chi evita una passione – Diverse storie diverse” (Pietro Vittorietti Editore)\, which collects ten stories of male homosexuality\, all drawn from real life and set in Sicily from the 1920s to the present day. \nNutrimenti Terrestri Messina\nDirected by Maurizio Puglisi\nArtistic Director: Manuele Morgese URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/free-flight-a-thousand-blue-bubbles/ LOCATION:Zeta Cinema and Theater\, Via Rodolfo Volpe\, General Partnership\, L'Aquila\, Monticchio\, AQ\, 67100\, Italy CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/filippo-luna.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Teatro Zeta Aps - Ets":MAILTO:teatrozeta@hotmail.it END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260208T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260208T170000 DTSTAMP:20260824T051913 CREATED:20260109T114527Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260109T114527Z UID:6597-1770570000-1770570000@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:Growing Up in the Theater: The Moral of the Story! DESCRIPTION:Fairy tales are the best way to depict oppression. The wolf is the quintessential villain—an archetype of evil—and in the original fairy tales\, he wins and devours the poor\, innocent victim\, who is sometimes a little lamb\, sometimes a little piglet\, and sometimes a little girl who has lost her way. Poor Little Red Riding Hood\, in fact\, did not originally escape the wolf’s belly.

The year is 1946. Paris. The crowd gathers curiously around the ring\, everyone waiting for the two challengers to enter: Eugenio Smit Lorenzoni and Victor Young Perez. Eugenio Lorenzoni is a young man from Trentino—from Cles—who emigrated to France to escape hunger and the advance of the fascist regime. In Paris\, he works in a factory and takes up boxing\, eventually competing for the French title. Victor Young Perez is Tunisian and becomes the world flyweight champion at just 20 years old. But the careers of these two young athletes were cut short by the outbreak of the war and the Nazi regime. *Boxeur* is a show about boxing\, courage\, and resistance to fascism and Nazism. But above all\, *Boxeur* is a show about never giving up\, because the impossible isn’t forever. *Boxeur* is a story of victory and courage—an ironic and poetic show\, as light and profound as life itself: never entirely the same\, never entirely one color. \n\nTeatroE in Vallizzano\nDirected by Maura Pettorruso\nArtistic Director: Manuele Morgese URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/free-flight-boxeur/ LOCATION:Zeta Cinema and Theater\, Via Rodolfo Volpe\, General Partnership\, L'Aquila\, Monticchio\, AQ\, 67100\, Italy CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/boxeur.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Teatro Zeta Aps - Ets":MAILTO:teatrozeta@hotmail.it END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260131 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260201 DTSTAMP:20260824T051913 CREATED:20251210T121444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251210T121444Z UID:7045-1769817600-1769903999@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:Everything Unnecessary Yet Essential: “You Write the Show” DESCRIPTION:Workshops and performances in theatrical improvisation; starting with outlines provided by the audience or the instructors\, participants will create theatrical scenes in a variety of acting styles.
