The project involves the realization of theatrical workshops for young migrants/asylum seeker/refugees finalized to the production of three shows with three professional actors of Teatro Magro. Expressive activity helps to stimulate the expressive potential of the participants, educates to chorality and relationship, promotes empathy, improves the perception of one’s body, space and time, increases the concentration threshold, strengthens self-esteem and self-control, enhancing the originality and personality of each.
In 2021 Teatro Magro exploited the know-how developed in previous years in a theatrical production with the participation of students / actors who had already participated in previous projects. In 2022 the workshop continues with the beneficiaries who have shown more interest, more skills and more talent in theatre. The workshops completes the study, exchange and research work done with the CROSSINGS project and focuses on the 3 issues that emerged from the discussions: languages, identity and awareness. With these beneficiaries, supported by 3 professionals, Teatro Magro intends to invest in a possible professionalization.
Young asylum seekers are encouraged to participate also thanks to the activation of a scholarship that gives value and motivation to their presence, an economic recognition of their commitment between training and work.
In addition to the theater workshop, the project included intensive summer workshops with the participation of external artists and the vision of appropriately selected contemporary theater shows, which could stimulate the beneficiaries to a critical vision and to be together with the citizens in a situation of sociability and sharing.
The project is carried out in direct partnership with the Municipality of Mantua and the SPRAR Enea through an conventions.
