“Pianeta Migrante” (Migrant Planet) is the interactive theatre performance we have designed for the SAMEWorld project. It has been designed so as to assign the audience an active role; thanks to the role-playing mechanism, the audience re-lives the condition of refugees, migrants, victims of human trafficking, unaccompanied foreign minors, with a special focus on environmental migration.

This “hearing performance” was designed to allow participants to experience a short yet intense “music vision”, a “journey in the dark” through stories and poems by foreign authors and representatives of migration literature. In a relaxed atmosphere, participants are blindfolded, to allow them to focus on listening to the stories we will whisper in their ears…

“#Loro – Uno di questi giorni prenderemo qualcuno e lo sbraneremo” (#Them – One of these days we will take somebody and eat him”) is a show revolving around on-line hate speech and hate practices, especially on social networks. The show stages images and situations reflecting existential boredom, which soon turns into rage and blind hatred. Some conversations in the show were inspired by real comments read by the protagonists on various social networks. #Loro is the first theatre show of the new MaTeMù Theatre Company, written and directed by Gabriele Linari with the collaboration of Marco Andreoli and the actors themselves.

“Il Tuffo” (“The Plunge”), is an experiential performance staged for a limited number of participants, who are directly involved in the show. In the first part, the actors and the audience come together, both from the physical and the visual point of view. In the second part, participants are blindfolded and accompanied through a journey made of words and sounds, aimed at restoring contact with others and a dimension of deep listening.
