On the occasion of the eight-hundredth anniversary of Italy's patron saint, Francis of Assisi, we are pleased to present a performance celebrating the various aspects and stories associated with this extraordinary saint. The performance is presented by one of Italy's most acclaimed musicians, Angelo Branduardi, whose music will accompany the narration of one of Italy's finest journalists, Aldo Cazzullo. This performance will be a unique opportunity to delve deeper into and understand the importance of Francis of Assisi to our nation's identity.

Teatro "Dino Buzzati"

Max, Paul, and Simon have been friends for thirty years. A true, unbreakable, and joyful friendship. Their professional lives are a success, but their personal lives are a little less so. One evening, the three friends meet at Max's house for their usual poker game. But Simon arrives almost an hour late, giving the two friends a shocking motivation. The poker game never begins.

Our Women

A story of escape and dreams, a story of yearnings for freedom, a story woven together: August 8, 1991, the Vlora ship docked in the port of Bari, carrying 20,000 Albanians. On the one hand, the government authorities wanted those twenty thousand locked up in the city stadium. On the other, the Bari community welcomed them with baked pastries and focaccias collected from families! An exemplary story that opens our eyes to the European political landscape of the 1990s and that today, where integration and acceptance are still questioned, finds full relevance. The show features three voices: those who set out on the journey, those who welcome, and those who observe. Three languages: an Italo-Albanian language —the journey, the wait, the landing —an Italo-Apulian language —critical awareness —Italian— astonishment. Three perspectives: a young Albanian, a man from Bari, and a child, bearing witness to an event that changed the course of immigration. A moving story, one that concerns us all, and one that still needs to be told.
