Crossings. Theatre with Migrants Exchange

The project involves three AMI partners that carry out theatrical workshops also involving foreign migrants: Teatro Magro (at the head), Asinitas and Babel. The project foresees a brief session of exchange between project conductors during a workshop for the three partners (ACTION 1 – Social inclusion) for an artistic and methodological comparison on the ground in order to observe and share the different methodologies, resulting in a contamination and common vision and instruments.

The partners also collaborate in the presentation of 3 performances produced by each at an Italian summer festival (ACTION 2 – Sensitization) with a focus on social theatre. This aims at bringing good practice and artistic production to well-known festival contexts, creating dialogue and comparison between people, professionals, languages and culture: a festival as a place for exchange and convergence of excellence.

Finally, in autumn, the three partners organize a conference in Rome (ACTION 3 – Research) lasting three days and open to the public with presentations and a collective workshop. Involved in this event are operators, institutions and artists who participated in the project in previous years. During the meeting, a common artistic action is undertaken, also with the participation of invited artists who have already been a part of the workshops of the partners during projects in the past.

The INCROCI project is under the care and supervision of some well-known actors in the national theatrical and institutional realms who have always demonstrated great attention and sensitivity to this theme. It also produces a video and a final publication. The project continues the meeting and exchange of methodologies begun in 2020 with reciprocal visits between the Teatro Magro and partners, thus providing an occasion for comparison and common training on the experience of the various organizations.
