(ANSA) – FLORENCE, DEC 22 – Young inmates ‘materialized’ on stage in live streaming, intertwining theater and technology to overturn rules and perceptions and bring prison out of prison. ‘One Man Jail: the prisons of the mind’ is coming to Florence, the only show in Italy that uses digital technologies for a theater project in prison, premiered on January 8 and 9, at 9pm , at the Florida Shipyard Theater.
Proposed and produced by Compagnia Interazioni Elementari, directed by Claudio Suzzi, the show digitally brings the young actors inmates of the Meucci Institute for minors in Florence to the stage in real time, to tell a story of obsessions and freedom, while the audience will transform for two hours in a group of prisoners. The story is that of Frank Petroletti – played by actor Filippo Frittelli – comedian who, at the height of his success, is arrested and jailed.
Inside the prison, in front of an audience of hostile and disinterested inmates, he prepares to perform his latest performance. The show is part of the ‘Streaming Theater: a bridge between prison and city’ project, an educational path to show and performance professions through the use of digital technologies, which aims to fill two basic needs of those who live the juvenile detention institution: establishing a link with the external community and obtaining job training. “We work to ensure that young people are hired as actors – explained director Suzzi, founder of Interazioni Elementari and creator of Streaming Theater – paid as entertainment workers.
For this it will be essential to distribute the show in such a way as to make it circulate as much as possible in the theaters of the Tuscany Region and the national circuit “. (ANSA).
