PROJECT
Recipients: teenagers from the Benevento area

It is a workshop structured around the method of process drama where the participants will think about the role of masculinity in their lives, about the issue of toxic masculinity. The process will try to create a short performance based on the ideas suggested by the participants. “Participating in the festival Quartieri de vita is for me an opportunity to explore in a group an important and actual subject, an opportunity to contemplate our social constructs and how much they change our dynamics”, says Alexandru Gorghe. “I truly think that social theatre is one of the most important tools for strengthening community and interpersonal relationships in today’s world”.

THE CONTEXT
SOLOT Compagnia Stabile di Benevento
It is a professional theatrical enterprise that has been a cooperative since 1991, although the first group of actors, directors, and technicians dates back to 1987. In the same year, the newborn association premiered at the Benevento Città Spettacolo Festival with Serata Flaiano, directed by Giacomo Colli and featuring Ugo Gregoretti. Since then, Solot embarked on theatrical professionalism, working more and more intensively in its area, and committing itself to many theatrical residency projects.
