“STANFORD SOCIAL INNOVATION REVIEW (INSTAGRAM)” — “LA RIVOLUZIONE A SEI POSTI: UN REGISTA TEATRALE (FRANCESCO GRAVINO) HA TRASFORMATO UN’EDICOLA ABBANDONATA IN UN’ESPERIENZA TEATRALE RADICALMENTE NUOVA” by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA https://ssir.org/bios/luciano-magaldi-sardella SOURCE: https://www.instagram.com/p/Deor7xKlwNH/ Nella città di San Severo, nel sud Italia, un’edicola arrugginita è stata trasformata nel teatro più piccolo del mondo e in un modello replicabile di rigenerazione urbana creativa. Nel numero autunnale di SSIR, Luciano Magaldi Sardella descrive come questo teatro da sei posti sia una risposta alle forze digitali e demografiche che stanno svuotando intere parti di città ovunque. Il “Teatro-Edicola” è “non tanto una dichiarazione sulla piccolezza fine a sé stessa, quanto un’ipotesi sulla prossimità, l’intimità e l’accesso come motori della partecipazione culturale. … L’esperienza è, per sua stessa struttura, relazionale piuttosto che transazionale. (Francesco Gravino)”.
“STANFORD SOCIAL INNOVATION REVIEW (INSTAGRAM)” — “THE SIX-SEAT REVOLUTION: A THEATRE DIRECTOR (FRANCESCO GRAVINO) TRANSFORMED AN ABANDONED NEWSSTAND INTO A RADICALLY NEW THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE” by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA https://ssir.org/bios/luciano-magaldi-sardella SOURCE: https://www.instagram.com/p/Deor7xKlwNH/ In the southern Italian town of San Severo, a rusted iron newsstand has been transformed into the world’s smallest theater and a replicable model of creative urban regeneration. In SSIR’s fall issue, Luciano Magaldi Sardella describes how the six-seat theater is a countermeasure to the digital and demographic forces hollowing out parts of cities everywhere. The Teatro Edicola (“Newsstand Theater”) is “not primarily a statement about smallness for its own sake, but a hypothesis about proximity, intimacy, and access as drivers of cultural participation. … The experience is, by its very structure, relational rather than transactional (Francesco Gravino).”
