Moby Dick is the latest project in chronological order, a synthesis of the work developed by the company since its origins: the utopia of theater in urban spaces and in contact with communities.

The Teatro dei Venti with a new seminar and the Cantiere Creativo project intends to deepen its research for the creation of the new theater production in urban spaces Il Figliol Prodigo, investigating more deeply the aspects of chorality and active participation of the public.

Starting from the experience made last year which involved a total of 35 artists from different backgrounds and disciplines, with an outcome open to the public hosted in Pennabilli (RN) in the context of Artisti in Piazza and in continuity with another stage for in-depth study of the project developed in the Apennine town of Gombola in autumn, the Teatro dei Venti is a new stage in the project to approach the show.

SEMINAR FOR ARTISTS

The new stage of production will open again to actors, dancers, musicians who wish participate in this new experiment by deepening the research on the choral and musicality that the work requires.

CREATIVE SITE WITH CITIZENSHIP

The stage will also see the involvement of the territory through a rhythm / percussion workshop open to the whole community. A real Creative Construction Site that can be built in collaboration with local associations, to intercept needs, mend relationships and activate the participation of even the most fragile sections of the population.

With the artistic guidance of Stefano Tè, director of Teatro dei Venti, and the musical direction of Igino L. Caselgrandi, participants will be invited to bring everyday objects from their homes to discover or rediscover their musicality. During the journey they will take part in the creation process and will take the first steps in the direction of that "active spectator" which is the basic idea of new production Il Figliol Prodigo.
