The Napoli Teatro Festival Italia hosts a meeting to present the initiatives for the centenary of the birth of Paolo Grassi. The “Paolo Grassi – La voce della cultura” Foundation has, in fact, launched in the fall of 2017 a broad programme celebrating one hundred years since the birth of Paolo Grasso. The event will go on until the year 2019, and the activities will deal with the educational aspects and discovery especially for young people, but revolved to all citizens. The story of a great commitment and intense research aiming to change and modernise culture and Italian social life will be told through theatre, opera, press releases, television and cinema.
The programme for this anniversary is particularly revolved to young ones (also with events and activities supported with funding) and features the documentation of that story, using as narration the testimony, the words, readings, photography, audio-visual contents, previous shows, both popular and never before seen, all together in one project of events.
The key moment of this initiative and journey will be the appointments dealing with formation aspects, set up in educational courses on theatre and shows. The main goal is to offer a formation and understanding to new audiences.
