IL TEATRO-EDICOLA (FRANCESCO GRAVINO) SU “LA STAMPA (SPECCHIO)”, “SIX CHAIRS AT THE TEATRO-EDICOLA” by FRANCESCA TAMBURRINO SOURCE: https://www.lastampa.it/specchio/rubriche/segue-buffet/2026/09/27/news/sei_sedie_al_teatro_-_edicola-15748967/ To the delight of lovers of the genre, the news is reassuring: theatres are back in fashion. Perhaps they had never gone out of fashion but were slightly tarnished by interest in other genres considered more contemporary. Wrong, theatre after millennia withstands wear and negativity reinvigorates it. Halls thought lost are reopening and new spaces are flourishing. Because theatre can be made anywhere, in houses, in streets, on the ashes of spaces born for other purposes. For example in newsstands: in many cities these kiosks sell everything except what they were conceived for, newspapers. The ingenious wheeze is to be found in the Foggia area with the Teatro-Edicola, the smallest theatre in the world, six chairs, less than two square metres, careful programming, performances every fifteen minutes and sold-out is easily guaranteed. A happy experiment that has intrigued even the noble journal of the American Stanford University. The wheeze from San Severo in the Foggia area pleased the students of Stanford so much that they made it a case study. The result was published in the “Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR)” quarterly journal and award-winning website given its specific specialisation in covering multisectoral solutions to global problems, considered one of the world reference points for social innovation. The article “The Six-Seat Revolution”, that is to say the Revolution of the Six Chairs, was curated by the Foggian (Orta Nova) researcher Luciano Magaldi Sardella, supervised by editor David V. Johnson and can be retrieved in the Dispatches section of the “Stanford Social Innovation Review”. Imagine the satisfaction of the theatre company Foyer 97 which sees itself projected into global fame and planetary interest, matured into a shower of requests for duplication. After all, who does not have a disused space in a state of abandonment to be recovered worthy of rising to a cultural garrison? Meanwhile the meritorious creators of the winning idea will return to the stage in October and are already preparing the thirtieth anniversary of the company which falls next year. On those six chairs, they assure us, young and old have sat in equal albeit meagre measure. An experiment which in the universe of entertainment is followed with attention. So much so that Biagio Antonacci made a surprise stop at the Teatro-Edicola where he sang his “Iris”. Passers-by in a huddle beyond the sold-out.

🚨 Esteban Lepaul 🇫🇷: "Satisfaction of having my first in Blue tonight with a magnificent victory. 🔥 I didn't really realize it at the moment... I am really HAPPY that we won this match tonight. At halftime, Zinédine Zidane corrected a few details but HE ESPECIALLY LET THE PLAYERS WHO NEEDED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THEMSELVES GO FREE." 😇 🎙️ @TF1 (translated)

Dear readers. We call for moderation in the attacks against Thélyson Orélien. First, there is a non-zero chance (even if it is tiny) that he is acting in good faith. Moreover, Orélien undoubtedly played in a morally gray area, exploiting a period of confusion during which our institutions and our practices (as well as our literary awards) have not yet adapted to this new and transformative technology. But he probably did not think that the success of his book would gain national prominence; and while it seemed important to us to point out the scam, it also seems important to have compassion and empathy for him, and even to support him during this difficult time he must be experiencing. The best thing would, of course, be for him to start writing again! The lessons of this affair go beyond his personal case, and that is what we must focus on. We reported this book because it is successful, but it is far from being the only one. On this network, hundreds of politicians and slop accounts have their posts written by AI without disclosing that it is AI, deliberately deceiving their readers all year long. And it has been a long time since the bestsellers on Amazon (the leading book distributor in France) have been dominated by books written directly by AI, sometimes very crudely, and with results not as good as Thélyson's (who thus has a degree of merit for managing to produce a coherent narrative that has satisfied many readers). The Parisian intelligentsia still likely underestimates the capabilities of AI and uses LLMs little or not at all (and does not hang out on LinkedIn), which is why they have not recognized the stereotypical formulas. Formulas that, if we were not tired of seeing them incessantly, would probably please us: language models learned them because they appealed to humans who supervised their training via RLHF! In the comments, some express that they do not see the point of authenticity; perhaps what should be taken away from this controversy is that, given the scale of the scandal, the majority places a lot of importance on authenticity. If you believe you are providing value by having your works written by AI, go ahead! But at least mention it, so as not to betray your readers, because lying, in this case, is morally reprehensible.

"LOCAL NEWS": FOGGIA-PROVINCE-BASED NEWSSTAND THEATRE IN A STANFORD UNIVERSITY REVIEW SOURCE: https://www.newslocali.it/foggia/teatro-edicola-foggiano-su-rivista-stanford-university SAN SEVERO (FG) - The 'smallest theatre in the world' in San Severo becomes an international case study. Its singularity has been chronicled in the prestigious journal of Stanford University, thereby commanding global attention. A diminutive theatre conquers Stanford University The innovative teatro edicola of San Severo, in the Province of Foggia, has attained an extraordinary milestone. This space, styled the 'smallest theatre in the world', is now the subject of academic study. Its history and operational model have been expounded in a publication of considerable international repute. The journal Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), renowned for its much-lauded analyses of global solutions, has devoted attention to the initiative. The article, entitled "Six-Seat Revolution", was authored by the Foggian researcher Luciano Magaldi Sardella. Editorial supervision was entrusted to David V. Johnson. The piece appears in the 'Dispatches' section of the review. This publication constitutes a point of reference for social innovations and impact strategies. The success of the model and future prospects Francesco Gravino, artistic director of the theatrical company Foyer 97, has expressed profound satisfaction. "It is an achievement that rewards our labour," Gravino declared. The notion of transfiguring a disused site into a cultural centre has met with resounding success. The newsstand theatre model has generated requests for replication from sundry Italian cities. Amongst these, Lucca and Rome have evinced interest. The objective was to create a cultural enterprise within a derelict space. Gravino advocates for regional legislation that would facilitate the reconversion of disused areas. These might become veritable 'cultural outposts' for communities. The Foyer 97 company is already labouring upon its forthcoming programme. The coming year shall mark a significant anniversary for the company. It shall indeed celebrate 30 years of activity. This milestone shall be commemorated with sundry novelties. A success with public and critics alike The newsstand theatre is distinguished by its diminutive dimensions. It comprises but six chairs and occupies less than two square metres. Notwithstanding its limited space, performances are reprised every 15 minutes. This frequency ensures a substantial influx of spectators, with consistently sold-out houses. The experiment has captured the interest of young and old alike. It has also aroused curiosity within the world of entertainment. A significant episode occurred between late July and early August. During a stop of his tour in Lucera, the singer Biagio Antonacci paid a surprise visit. Antonacci paused at the newsstand theatre and performed his song 'Iris'. "It was truly a most beautiful encounter," Gravino remarked. The event captivated the attention of passers-by, demonstrating the capacity of the diminutive theatre to engender memorable moments.
