A new edition of the programme of cultural events throughout the Lombardy area.

Thanks to the contribution of Regione Lombardia, with Teatro Fuori Porta we developed a theatrical programme aimed on the one hand at favouring the distribution of high-profile cultural projects throughout the Lombardy area, and on the other at favouring locations and organisations that are not “conventionally” considered as theatrical.

The project contributes to the consolidation and bolstering of audiences, and implements the efforts made and results obtained in recent years by Regione Lombardia in combating educational and cultural poverty. The project, which lasts from October to December 2025, takes the form of cycles or courses in “educating the gaze”, which include the organisation of recitals, of “performances in the classroom” in schools, and of workshop activities, forming a calendar of 60 events in the districts of 23 municipalities (Brunate, Como, Cantù, Oggiono, Casatenovo, Carate Brianza, Monza, Brugherio, Saronno, Varese, Besozzo, Ponte in Valtellina, Sondrio, Lovere, Bergamo, Brescia, Salò, Desenzano del Garda, Mantova, Castiglione delle Stiviere, Vigevano, Mortara, Lodi), covering 10 Lombardy provinces (Como, Lecco, Monza e Brianza, Varese, Sondrio, Bergamo, Brescia, Mantova, Pavia, Lodi).

The performers involved include Francesco Centorame with Io quella volta lì avevo 25 anni, a tribute to the theatre of Giorgio Gaber and Sandro Luporini; Federica Fracassi reading Goffredo Parise in Sillabari; Fausto Russo Alesi with Mumù, a short story by Ivan Turgenev, and Arianna Scommegna who draws on the words and the masterpiece by Elsa Morante with La Storia.

Alongside the evening events, the project includes a series of lecture-performances designed for schools – built around four key figures of classical and contemporary drama: King Lear, Antigone, Galileo, and La Maria Brasca – as well as a programme of reading workshops entitled AD ALTA VOCE, hosted in libraries, universities of the third age, and civic spaces, curated by Daniele Cavone Felicioni, Michele Dell’Utri, Diana Manea, and Giulia Trivero.

The project Teatro Fuori Porta is conceived by the Piccolo Teatro di Milano – Teatro d’Europa and organised with the suppport of
