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:20260208T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260208T183000 DTSTAMP:20260802T132445 CREATED:20260204T160136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260204T160136Z UID:6710-1770575400-1770575400@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:itARTS Festival: Back to L'Aquila - Lunaria DESCRIPTION:Multimedia performance at the “Shigeru Ban” Conservatory Auditorium.

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. In short\, it’s not true that villains always lose—unfortunately\, we see this every day—and only a cultural shift can help us change course. \n\nBrucaliffo Production\nDirected by Antonello Santarelli URL:https://laquila2026.it/en/evento/growing-up-in-the-theater-the-moral-of-the-story/ LOCATION:Theater of the Academy of Fine Arts\, 6b Leonardo da Vinci Street\, L'Aquila CATEGORIES:Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laquila2026.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/morale-della-favola.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Regional Theater Company%3A Teatro Stabile D'Abruzzo":MAILTO:tsa@teatrostabile.abruzzo.it END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260208T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260228T190000 DTSTAMP:20260802T132445 CREATED:20260130T132920Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260130T132920Z UID:6699-1770566400-1772305200@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:"The Most Beautiful Spring": Pathways\, Perspectives\, and Practices of the itARTS Project.

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;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260201T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260201T203000 DTSTAMP:20260802T132445 CREATED:20251218T110900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251218T110900Z UID:6482-1769968800-1769977800@laquila2026.it SUMMARY:Vivaldi\, "The Concertos for the Emperor" DESCRIPTION:The “Concerts for the Emperor” series continues with “La Cetra d’Asburgo\,” featuring a performance dedicated to the great 18th-century violin tradition.
