TEATRI SENZA TETTO (“Roofless Theatres”)

Teatri Senza Tetto is a permanent workshop of theatre artisans who have decided to create a “home” where they can do interdisciplinary research, free of the market mentality of most “professional” theatre. Puglian by birth or adoption, some of the most interesting realities in Italian theatre have decided to meet at La Luna nel Pozzo to take part in this ongoing experiment. TsT is not, and does not intend to be, a theatrical “company”, but rather a movement, in which each group, maintaining its own autonomy, has an opportunity for profound artistic dialogue among peers. Actors, puppeteers, musicians, storytellers and dancers: artistic “journeymen” who, tired of their solitude, have simply decided to open instead of closing, to share, instead of hoarding.
In this way we hope to find our path, new or old as it may be; to maintain our balance in these unsettling times.

With the success of the two shows presented in public squares (“Solstuni” in Ostuni in 2005, “Col Mare Dentro” in Brindisi in 2006), TsT has opened a relation with the territory through performance in places of great historical and artistic interest, natural settings for unique theatrical events. These shows have given vast audiences (2000 spectators in Ostuni) a new and magical vision of the city.

At this time, TsT consists of six groups: La Luna nel Pozzo, Ostuni; Armamaxa teatro, Milano/Foggia; La Luna nel Letto, Ruvo di Puglia; Burambò, Foggia; Casarmonica, Ceglie Messapica; Qualibò, Bari.
