DESCRIPTION:A tribute to women—engaged and full of joy—who adore both the virtues and the flaws of the other half of the sky. A warm and down-to-earth ode\, woven from a mosaic of scenes inspired by Goldoni\, chosen for their modernity and\, indeed\, their “contemporaneity.” It is no coincidence that these scenes are linked by a beautiful series of pop songs from today’s collective imagination\, performed live. And in this divertissement—which combines wit and lighthearted grace—there is another departure from traditional Goldoni productions: all the characters wear masks\, in contrast to the key idea of the author’s later work\, in which he would have preferred to eliminate all masks… But thanks to these masks\, three excellent actresses portray no fewer than sixteen different characters! \nHellequin Theater Company\, Pordenone\nDirected by Ferruccio Merisi\nArtistic Director: Manuele Morgese \n  \nTickets at https://www.cinemazeta.it/ URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/free-flight-am-i-one-of-you/ 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/Locandina-Sono-Io-Cosa-Vostra-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Teatro Zeta Aps - Ets":MAILTO:teatrozeta@hotmail.it END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260315T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260315T180000 DTSTAMP:20260802T054926 CREATED:20260206T091034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T091034Z UID:6727-1773597600-1773597600@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:Borrani\, Dillon\, and Consonni Trio - 80th Season of the "Bonaventura Barattelli" Aquila Concert Society DESCRIPTION:Three stars of the Italian concert scene have come together to form an extraordinary trio dedicated to performing masterpieces from the repertoire for this ensemble. The performers are violinist Lorenza Borrani\, cellist Francesco Dillon\, and pianist Martina Consonni. The program offers a fascinating journey into the heart of Viennese Classicism\, bringing together two great composers: Franz Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert. From Haydn’s works\, the program features Trio No. 44 in E-flat major\, Hob. XV:29\, Op. 86 No. 3—a luminous and refined piece that serves as a perfect example of formal balance and brilliant chamber music dialogue. Alongside this\, the famous Trio No. 39 in G major\, Hob. XV:25—known as the “Gipsy”—surprises with its rhythmic energy and its sweeping\, Hungarian-inspired finale. The second part of the program is dedicated to Schubert’s Trio No. 2 in E-flat major\, D 929\, Op. 100\, one of the absolute pinnacles of Romantic chamber music. The famous second movement\, with its melancholic and suspended theme\, has become one of the most beloved pieces in the chamber music repertoire. A musical journey spanning different eras and sensibilities\, highlighting the evolution of the piano trio between the 18th and 19th centuries. https://barattelli.it/eventi/trio-lorenza-borrani-violino-francesco-dillon-violoncello-martina-consonni-pianoforte/ \nAdmission fee:\nwww.barattelli.it URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/borrani-dillon-and-consonni-trio-80th-season-of-the-bonaventura-barattelli-aquila-concert-society/ LOCATION:Park Auditorium – Renzo Piano\, Avenue of the Gold Medals\, L'Aquila\, AQ\, 67100\, Italy CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/TRIO-15-marzo.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="%E2%80%9CB.

It’s thanks to this movement that they can lift themselves out of the water. If I were in a pool\, I’d use it and have my hands free. But with cancer\, you’re not swimming in clear waters. At first you think things are going well—it’s just a puddle\, a minor setback: one foot in front of the other\, your incurable optimism\, and you’ll be out of it. But you find nothing solid beneath the sludge; you try to drag yourself along\, but your body won’t follow—it’s starting to let go. Oh no\, dear body! We can’t just give up like that! From the outside\, everything’s fine. Also because\, aside from the cancer\, I’m doing just fine. Maybe.” *From the Outside\, Everything’s Fine* tells a true and personal story: the relationship with the “guest” that is breast cancer\, navigating between drama and variety—\n\, a comedic narrative\, and musical theater. From diagnosis to the side effects of treatment\, through certain surreal bureaucratic processes and the taboos surrounding language related to the disease. \nCredits \nBy Giulia Vanni and Daniele Fabbri | Starring Giulia Vanni | Illustrations | The Sando |\nStyling | Karma B In collaboration with Associazione L’albero dalle molte vite |\nProduction | Valdrada Teatro Co-production | Teatro Valmisa | With the support of Le\ncittà possibili Festival and Associazione Tdl/Teatro del Lido di Ostia \nDirector’s Notes \nThe show blends drama and humor\, depicting the journey of those living with the disease through an irreverent brand of comedy that helps break the silence. “Here’s the problem: when you’re dealing with cancer\, life becomes unbearable—not so much because of the disease itself\, but because your relationships become strained and fragile\,” revealing that the fear of the disease makes it difficult to be honest. “But it’s not because we’re bad people; it’s just that we’re scared and don’t know how to do the one thing that can help us: tell each other what it’s really like.” Her tone is ironic yet sincere as she shares hilarious anecdotes\, such as using cancer as an excuse to get out of boring evenings or the absurdity of discovering that mosquitoes don’t bite during chemo. But the message comes through loud and clear: illness can be faced with courage\, thanks in part to humor. “I’m sure that after this\nstory\, you’ll be left with only good memories and a few more tools to face it all. And if you want to cross your fingers\, now’s the time! Thank goodness it’s the left breast…” A laugh so liberating that it embraces fear and makes it lighter. \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-everything-looks-fine-from-the-outside/ LOCATION:Makeshift space\, 24 Fontesecco Street\, L'Aquila CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Da-fuori-tutto-bene-14-marzo.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:20260314T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260314T180000 DTSTAMP:20260802T054926 CREATED:20251222T104832Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251222T104832Z UID:6522-1773511200-1773511200@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:Beethoven 200th Anniversary Project - Part II DESCRIPTION:Marco ZUCCARINI\, Director \nNicolas SALLOUM\, piano — Winner of the 2025 “A.

Nature\, however\, follows a millennia-old path; over the ages\, the landscape slowly transforms\, following the continuous and unceasing course of both tectonic movements and the seasons\, offering us primordial and unspoiled vistas that seem eternal. The very same territory that has seen human settlements rise up can\, just a few hundred meters from these homes\, hide corners of extraordinary beauty—places where there is literally no trace of human activity\, or where only an imperceptible trace remains. The highlands of Abruzzo\, the forests straddling the border between Abruzzo and Lazio\, the lakes and waterways—some accessible only via often rugged trails—represent the very origins of central Italy. These are places where some may encounter the work of their God\, while others may rediscover themselves; places where the cardinal directions lose their meaning and all human logic seems to dissolve into the emotions evoked by their contemplation. What emerges strongly is humanity’s duty to oversee the care of its surroundings\, exercising preventive protection against the destructive actions of its fellow humans; otherwise\, the price the future holds in store will be the total loss of the opportunity to experience the splendid sensations bestowed upon us by nature. Depicting these landscapes in monochrome is the true challenge of this collection: the elements stand out through the gradation of tones\, without earth\, water\, and sky dominating through color\, yet creating a powerful connection among them. The format chosen by the artist—which gives the collection its title—is the golden ratio. The viewpoints presented to the observer are those of a traveler who arrives at the location and directs his gaze—naturally horizontal—toward the spectacle before him\, in a near-perfect 144:89 aspect ratio. *Aurum Naturæ* is a series created over a six-year period\, from 2014 to 2020\, and is conceptually divided into four parts: Sky\, Form\, Water\, Vegetation; the shooting locations—though recognizable in many cases—are not indicated by the artist’s express choice. All images were taken with a full-frame Canon EOS digital camera. The exhibition layout in the Winter Garden features photographs mounted on rigid panels suspended by steel cables using the existing steel structure on the hall’s ceiling. The exhibition will be viewable from the balcony.

DESCRIPTION:The story of Rapunzel is told by two cooks who are baking a cake. All the ingredients are brought out onto the counter in the small kitchen. Everything is ready when a craving for coffee interrupts the baking. But the work must go on; they can’t stop. Craving or wanting something else can lead to trouble\, just like those two farmers who lost a daughter because of their craving for rampion. But you can’t bring up a story without telling the whole thing. And so\, between a cup of coffee and the cake preparation—whose aromas the audience will also be able to enjoy—the two cooks never stop recounting and pondering that strange story that begins with a wish—to have a child—and a craving—for Rapunzel’s hair grown in a fairy’s garden. The two cooks tell and bring to life the fairy tale of Rapunzel using vegetables\, ladles\, spoons—whatever they find on the counter. They become so immersed in the fate of the protagonists that they eventually step in\, taking part in a story that’s also about them and all of us. \nA story\, a fairy tale\, that reminds us that even in the darkest moments\, we must not lose hope for a happy ending. Life will have its sorrows\, its wounds\, and its moments of abandonment\, but it is always worth living to the fullest. \n\nCattivi Maestri Theater Company\, Savona\nDirected by Antonio Tancredi\nArtistic Director: Manuele Morgese\ntickets at https://www.cinemazeta.it/ URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/papaveri-e-papere-theater-season-lets-find-a-rapunzel/ 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/Locandina-Raperonzolo-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Teatro Zeta Aps - Ets":MAILTO:teatrozeta@hotmail.it END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260308T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260308T170000 DTSTAMP:20260802T054926 CREATED:20260112T100254Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T100254Z UID:6616-1772989200-1772989200@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:Growing Up in the Theater: Professor Bustric’s Flea Circus DESCRIPTION:*The Flea Circus* is a play on perspective between the infinitely small and the infinitely large: it may happen that if a flea dives into a coffee cup—so small to us\, yet as vast as an ocean to her—the scene transforms into a deep-sea abyss\, revealing its secrets and mysteries.

On stage\, a single actress brings to life a character who\, through a series of reflections and moments of intimacy with the audience\, lays bare her contradictions regarding food: pleasure\, guilt\, desire\, and self-control. Food becomes a lens through which to observe ourselves and the society in which we live\, where every bite is laden with meaning. Through a combination of irony\, moments of raw honesty\, and sincere storytelling\, the protagonist confronts her own relationship with food\, external pressures\, and the daily challenges surrounding the body\, body image\, and self-esteem. The performance oscillates between laughter and deep reflection\, offering the audience a mirror of their own eating habits and the meanings we attribute to food. \nDirector’s Notes: The set design is minimalist\, deliberately sparse\, to focus on the intensity of the performance and the interaction with the audience. The monologue is enriched by brief pauses\, improvisations\, and moments when the protagonist addresses the audience directly\, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and engagement. The language is conversational and often shifts between lighthearted and more dramatic tones\, keeping the audience in a state of constant surprise. \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-confessions-of-a-hungry-woman/ LOCATION:Makeshift space\, 24 Fontesecco Street\, L'Aquila CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/confessioni-di-una-donna-affamata-7-marzo.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Ricordo ets Social Promotion Association (Le Mantidi Collective/Spazio Rimediato)":MAILTO:spaziorimediato@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260306T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260306T183000 DTSTAMP:20260802T054926 CREATED:20260205T161340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260205T161340Z UID:6739-1772821800-1772821800@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:itARTS Festival: Back to L'Aquila - Conservatory Festival "Electroacoustic Generations - Electroacoustic Music Concert" DESCRIPTION:Music composed and performed by students of the Department of Electronic Music at the Conservatory of L’Aquila\n; Pierpaolo Barbiero (Atri\, 1985)\, *Pareli* for cello and live electronics\n; cello: Gabriele Boccio; electronics\, sound engineering by Lorenzo Scandale\n\, performed by Gabriele Boccio (Terni\, 1996)\, Harmonic Paths for cello\, quadraphonic audio\, and live electronics\ncello: Gabriele Boccio; electronics and sound engineering: Lorenzo Scandale\nGiulio Romano De Mattia (Rome\, 2000)\, Jolt for small Tibetan bell and live electronics\nTibetan bell: Gianmarco Piemari; electronics\, sound engineering by Giulio Romano De Mattia\nFederico Martusciello\, (L’Aquila 1972)\, Reconstruction\, acousmatic music with quadraphonic diffusion\nsound engineering by Lorenzo Scandale\nGianmarco Piemari\, (Avezzano 1997)\, ReBell for tubular bells and audio support\ntubular bells by Gianmarco Piemari; sound direction by Giulio Romano De Mattia\nLorenzo Scandale (Rome\, 1993)\, Farsi marea for cello and live electronics\ncello by Gabriele Boccio; electronics\, sound direction by Lorenzo Scandale\nSimone Scarazza\, (L’Aquila 1977)\, Figurazioni\, acousmatic music with quadraphonic diffusion\nsound direction by Gianmarco Piemari\nInstructor – tutor Agostino Di Scipio URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/itarts-festival-back-to-laquila-conservatory-festival-electroacoustic-generations-electroacoustic-music-concert/ LOCATION:Park Auditorium – Renzo Piano\, Avenue of the Gold Medals\, L'Aquila\, AQ\, 67100\, Italy CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/itARTS.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="%E2%80%9CA.

What other feeling stirs our souls as much as mad love?
