PANE E ZUCCHERO
From an idea by Mitia del Brocco
with Antonio Provasio, Maicol Trotta, and Enrico Dalceri
Musical accompaniment by Tonino Scala
Directed by Antonio Provasio
Antonio Provasio, best known as “La Teresa” — one of Italy’s most beloved theatrical personalities and director of the company I Legnanesi — brings his experience to a new project celebrating the charm of bygone days. With warmth and spontaneity, he takes the audience on a journey through memories and reflections on the past.
At his side is Furio, played by Maicol Trotta, a dynamic young actor who, through song, dance, and humor, explores the question: “Was it better then or now?” The show mirrors the gentle rhythm of the past and the fast pace of today, touching on themes like social media, bullying, music, sports, food, and dining culture. The cast includes Enrico Dalceri (“La Mabilia” from I Legnanesi), with Tonino Scala accompanying the performance live.

PARLANDO CON LE STELLE
Written by Emanuela Aureli, Sergio Di Folco
With Emanuela Aureli and Giandomenico Anellino
Directed by Emanuela Aureli
“Parlando con le stelle!” combines humor, energy, and Emanuela Aureli’s exceptional versatility. Pretending to host her own variety show, she auditions the right “maestro” — played by Anellino — who changes identity in hilarious ways to win her favor. Between witty sketches and spontaneous laughter, Emanuela delivers brilliant impersonations of Italian celebrities like Milly Carlucci, Carlo Conti, Mahmood, Malgioglio, Elodie, Rose Villain, Giorgia, Marcella Bella, Noemi, Iva Zanicchi, Albano, and Ricchi e Poveri. She also enchants with tributes to Il Volo, Loredana Bertè, and Lady Gaga. A lighthearted journey through laughter and emotions, the show brings to life Emanuela’s ever-evolving gallery of characters and her infectious authenticity.
Thursday, January 8, 2026 – 9:00 PM
IL BERRETTO A SONAGLI
by Luigi Pirandello
with Antonello Avallone, Flaminia Fegarotti, Gianluca delle Fontane,
Flavia di Domenico, Alessandro Capone, Francesca Cati
Directed by Antonello Avallone
One of Pirandello’s central themes — social appearance and hypocrisy — is revisited with irony and freshness in Avallone’s direction.
Beatrice Fiorica discovers her husband’s affair with the young wife of his clerk, Ciampa. Determined to expose them, she sets a trap, but the ensuing scandal is hushed up to protect her husband’s reputation. Enraged, Ciampa plots revenge but ultimately decides to brand Beatrice as insane — because, in Pirandello’s world, telling the truth means being deemed mad.
Thursday, February 5, 2026 – 9:00 PM
ALLA RICERCA DELL’UOMO RAGNO – 883
With Mauro Repetto
Directed by Maurizio Colombi and Stefano Salvati
In 1988, Mauro Repetto co-founded 883 with Max Pezzali, writing many of their greatest hits. In this show, Mauro performs those songs while recounting his journey — his escape from Italy and his encounter with the Spider-Man within. Blending music, humor, and storytelling, the show features live performances, video projections, and surreal interactions with digital characters, including a younger version of Repetto and a virtual Max Pezzali created with AI.
On stage with him are Marco Guarnerio (arranger and producer of 883), Célie (soul singer), and a dark alter-ego Spider-Man. A nostalgic yet vibrant performance that captures the spirit of the ’90s while revealing Mauro’s artistic evolution.
Tuesday, March 10, 2026 – 9:00 PM
BUONGIORNO MINISTRO
by Jordi Galceràn – Italian translation by Piero Tierno
with Enzo Iacchetti, Carlotta Proietti, Ermenegildo Marciante and two other actors
Directed by Ferdinando Ceriani
“Good Morning, Minister!” is a witty Spanish comedy, presented in Italy for the first time. Written by Jordi Galceran, it’s an ironic, unpredictable, and at times tender play — never vulgar.
The story follows a minister engulfed in a corruption scandal who, moments before a drastic act, is saved by the energy of a door-to-door saleswoman. Her eccentric family — including a criminal husband, a prostitute, and a disabled father — complicates matters in increasingly absurd and hilarious ways.
Fast-paced dialogue, outrageous gags, and a surprising ending make this play a rollercoaster of laughter reminiscent of the film A Fish Called Wanda.
