The 2022 edition of Quartieri di Vita. Life infected with Social Theatre! will end with a conference dedicated to Pier Paolo Pasolini on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. The conference titled Manifesto Pasolini is inspired by the Manifesto per un nuovo teatro written by the poet. It will be an opportunity meeting to outline new perspectives and envisage future projects to support social theater in Campania.
The conference will delve into the otherness of places and their vulnerable social groups in accordance with the poetics of the writer, one of the greatest narrators of the Roman suburbs of the second half of the 20th century, and the goals of Quartieri di Vita. Life infected with Social Theatre!.
The meeting will be opened by the speeches of academic experts and university professors who will focus their critical reflections on the theories set out in Pasolini’s Manifesto.
Local and European artists who joined this second international edition of the project will also join the conference, telling the experience they shared during
the training workshops.
Manifesto Pasolini is a way to restate that theatre must be accessible to all, so that the dialogue between different social realities can strengthen the basis for improving relationships of cultural diplomacy, regional and international cooperation.
On this occasion, the Fondazione Campania dei Festival will also present a permanent board with the purpose of mapping the actions and projects that convey, today and in our Region, a new idea of social theatre.
