Proscenio Teatro
(Proscenio Theater Company from Italy)
Proscenio Teatro is one of the most stable and active companies in Marche region (Central Italy) in terms of theatre productions, children’s theatre and acting education.
The company is supported by the Marche Region and the Italian Ministry of Culture and has been promoting theatre culture in the region and beyond for years.
Proscenio also has a continuous program of acting education for Children (7-12 y.o.), Young Adults (13-18 y.o.), Adults 18+ and Seniors 60+, that sum up to 90-100 participants each year on average.
Proscenio Teatro collaborates with the municipalities of Porto San Giorgio and Fermo on artistic, social and educational projects, organizing reviews, producing ad hoc shows for the initiatives of the administrations, offering its contribution in the field of social services (workshops for immigrants, children, adolescents and families in difficulty). It has also been collaborating for years with schools in the area (e.g., ISC Nardi in Porto San Giorgio and ITIS Montani in Fermo).
In addition to the already mentioned “Shakespeare nel parco” festival, another relevant project is EPOS, a mini summer festival dedicated to the exploration of the great classics in an evocative setting that is perfectly suited to host mythical and millenary stories.
One of the objectives of this festival is to promote the incredible historical location of Rocca Tiepolo, transforming it into a cultural container particularly suited to enhance performances and works centered on the eternal classical myths that, although thousands of years apart, always allow us to better understand human nature and the world we live in.
The title of the festival, EPOS, emphasizes the rediscovery of the great epic poems, or rather the poetic narration of great heroic gestures that are transformed into immortal stories, thanks to the inseparable combination of lyrical impulses, great adventures, philosophy and entertainment.
Thanks to the support of the Municipality of Porto San Giorgio, as well as to the contribution of AMAT (a regional theatre association), Proscenio also organizes SOTTO_PASSAGGI, a review aiming at enhancing forms of contemporary theatre.
The shows chosen by the artistic director Stefano Tosoni come from companies of great professionals, both regional and national.
Alongside the big names, there are many talented and determined professionals who fight every day in the hope of giving someone a story, a tear or a smile.
At an absolutely affordable price, it is possible to enjoy excellent works that have already received regional and national acclaim and recognition: a unique opportunity and one of the most interesting and original cultural proposals in the region.
