Activities

With this project, CCO aimed to create a relationship between the Juvenile Penitentiary in Airola and the local community by organizing a festival held inside the beautiful theatre of the penitentiary in order to involve all the citizens of Airola and surrounding area.

The festival is organized by the permanent cultural centre of the Airola IPM, supported by AMI (see project) and consists of two days of theatre, workshops, screenings and music with important guests, among which the youth of the Puntozero theatrical company of Milan as part of the Interscambio exchange project, also supported by AMI (see project).

The Airola Penitentiary is located in the centre of Airola on the main street in a building from the 1700s that also has a beautiful theatre. The festival is an opportunity to open the IPM to the citizens and foresees events both inside the theatre, where a pre-registered public can go into the penitentiary and see a performance or a screening, as well as outside, in the communal Cloister, where other events will be held in which some of the young inmates are authorized to participate.

The theme of the festival is centred around a discussion of the male role and the relationship with women, through film shorts and theatrical works of a poetic and innovative vision of this relationship in order to reconfigure the masculine image into categories of affection, responsibility and dialogue instead of violence. The works centre the male/female relationship in a creative and balanced fashion while respecting differences.
