The theater returns to be a bridge between generations and fragility with “Mariposa de Cardu”, a project by Il Crogiuolo in memory of Luisa and Stefano Atzeri, which on October 30 resumed its activity with the cultural association Animus Teatro.

The initiative, born to bring comfort and closeness to those who are most vulnerable, saw Animus Teatro directed by Franco Siddi perform at the Vittorio Emanuele nursing home in Pirri, with the show “Così come siamo”.

Directed by Franco Siddi, the show is a mosaic of ironic and stimulating stories, which address the theme of the courage to be oneself, to break down one's limits and to rediscover dreams, regardless of age or living conditions. "Così come siamo" therefore invites us to look beyond appearances, to take the time to listen, because it is in the essence of each one that true beauty is discovered.

Mariposa de Cardu's commitment is not limited to the Orto Giardino, but the project is open to hospitals, nursing homes, care facilities and prisons, which can request free performances by writing to ilcrogiuolo@gmail.com. The same opportunity is also offered to artists who wish to donate their work to a social project, giving their contribution to a cultural network that stages empathy and solidarity.
