The research was carried out in 2017 in partnership with Bologna University and the Emilia Romagna regional health authorities to explore the impact of a theatre workshop for post-coma patients. It was presented in Bologna on 3 October 2017 during the conference ‘Music and theatre in therapeutic situations’ as part of the programme of events for the third ‘European Day of Awakenings’.
