If the collective theater
is mostly seen as a place
public stage e ribalta per
rappresentare “spettacoli” (trame,
testi, drammi, opere, operette, recitals,
concerti) da cui gli “spettatori” ricavino
emozioni, spesso liberatorie, sulla
vita personale o riflessioni, anche di
denuncia, sulle problematiche e
difficoltà dell’umana esistenza nella
collettività, si può ben comprendere
l’importanza del teatro e la necessità
di avere in ogni città , degna di questo
nome, un proprio teatro pubblico,
inteso come spazio di appartenenza
sociale, struttura per la crescita civile
quindi culturale degli stessi cittadini.
Taranto nel passato più old (Magna
Greece) and more recently had
public theaters, today it is free.
I do not think you can not share
the concept that a city without a
"his" theater is a city turned off. Off
because the lights that light up the stage of a theater
public authority that is established by the institutions
industry that represent citizens
are a means to enlighten the minds and thoughts of course
along with text, sets and music but all
in order to improve the city.
A theater audience is a civic
essential for expression, then
policy (in the sense of
polis = city), democracy (in the sense of
Government of the demos, the people
citizens), including the didactic function
for the younger generations.
Therefore I will not be difficult
complaint accordingly: Taranto is a city
undemocratic when deprived of its theater,
as important as having a museum, a library or a hospital ...
, because we are carefully
body, mind ì.
Someone will say, but there are
Taranto cinema / theater, auditorium
parishes, school theaters, salt
private. Not enough? No, not enough.
It takes the city theater, with a
its value and continuity in both
shows that in business, a place
"in charge" when the administration of a billboard
you comply with the rules of collective interest, highly
cultural and professionalism. Yet the people
tarantino loves theater, it's in his DNA!
But he is forced to chase the many seasonal
billboards proposed by
theater groups and associations where
not always the mere dilettantism
of those in the business of show for
passion, hobbies, leisure
is distinguished by professionalism, when often, as
appears, is the same institution
to diminish his duty
of choice rather than by sound and to make cash
resonance occasional billboards, on stages as proposed
occasional. Missing in Taranto,
short, a true political, democratic and culturally
careful and on the theater and maybe even for this
that the city still can not

absurd (absurd and illogical in the absence of a public theater
tarantino) is gaining momentum while

teatrodelmare, using not only
monuments and cultural spaces opened
but also private places: lounges,
lounges, dining outlets.

reading of the text, the proposal or the message
: the ability not to submit to

physically on the scene) a reality
uncivilized (because civic) does not

time and space) where a number of powerful

“E’stata-ha detto la regista Maria
Elena Leone-una prova aperta per un
pubblico amichevole; è necessario il
dibattito e non solo sul teatro in una
città che ci vede sempre più soli,
senza un futuro; da qui l’idea di
aggregarci in spazi non convenzionali
per dare spazio all’utopia”.
