Teatro Libero, Palermo

Child of the 1968 creative wave, Teatro Libero signifies avante-garde theater in Palermo. Formerly hosted in the ex Hotel de France, since 1999 it has been housed in a building that encloses the ancient Renaissance portico of Santa Maria dei Miracoli Church, whose harmonic round arches are nowadays still visible beside the audience seating area. Their season usually runs from October to May and is focused on the languages, especially the mix of theater and dance. They offer experimental shows as well as traditional ones from every side of the planet, but direct special attention to young Sicilian theater companies. Such a variety is kept together by a true love and devotion to culture, clearly visible in the aim to make new generations embrace theater, with special Sunday shows for children, seminars and theater workshops. - Valentina Caviglia
