Activities

Puntozero carries out professional theatrical workshops in the Beccaria Juvenile Penal Institute in Milan (IPM) aimed at the social re-insertion of vulnerable youths (both as actors and technicians) via an extremely innovative, experimental, professional approach. In 2015, Puntozero completed the restructuring and consolidation of the IPM Theatre (200 seats), transforming it into a place of active citizenship and cultural pluralism.

In 2021, Puntozero produces New Wild Web – cyber-bullying weapons, a new theatrical production that also received funds from Chi Odia Paga (he who hates pays). The interactive multimedia performance considers new instruments for communication, widespread digital illiteracy and the cause of numerous cyber-bullying acts. In order to deal with this particular, historical moment, the New Wild Web intends to reach a wider audience than that in the theatre alone, making use of live streaming platforms and social media, with the intent of revealing the strengths and beauty of this fundamental form of communication.

In 2020, AMI support enabled this form of pedagogical theatre and training for the Khoròs actors, elaborated by Puntozero in 2019 via workshops in IPMs, and the realization of a Laboratory Report documenting the making of a documentary video to share and promote the work and disseminate the psycho-physical Khoròs method.
