Abstract
Carla Bino and Stefano Locatelli retrace the debates and history
of theatre as a form of political and social engagement in Italy, starting with
the foundation of the first public theatre in 1947, the Piccolo Teatro di Milano.
The heart of the problem was, and still is: what is there before, during
and after the performance? An indistinct audience? An anonymous crowd?
Or a community? But which community? Active, committed, responsible,
open to the future. A choir fighting for freedom.
