Gli anni del Piccolo (1998-2015), on the occasion of Prospettiva Ronconi, a series of initiatives over the ten years since the death of the director; Dance Me to the End of the World by Sotterraneo.

Three works from the special series dedicated to the writings of Giorgio Strehler: Lettere agli italiani, 2021; Shakespeare Goldoni Brecht, 2022; Un teatro necessario, 2023. 

A second volume of writings by Ronconi is planned for the 2025/26 season, again within the context of the Prospettiva Ronconi programme: following the collection of interviews given for the show programmes of the plays produced, co-produced or created in collaboration with the Piccolo, the new work will contain a series of “theatrical editions” curated by Luca Ronconi, illustrating his inventiveness and unbound concept of dramaturgy.

The special relationship between Giorgio Strehler and Bertolt Brecht is the subject of the fourth book from the series dedicated to the founder of the Milanese theatre.

In close relation to the season’s programme comes the publication of a book by Paolo Di Paolo and Lino Guanciale, based on Miracolo a Milano, our new production directed by Claudio Longhi, and the translation and publication of a collection of writings by the French-Vietnamese playwright and director Caroline Guiela Nguyen, Associate artist at the Piccolo.
