With a mix of passion, creativity and attention to audiences of all ages, Abaco Teatro inaugurates the Teatro Season of Villaspeciosa February/April 2025. A rich and varied program that, from February 23 to April 13, will transform the Teatro Comunale Maria Carta into an exceptional cultural center. As part of the broader project "Art and Sustainability", the festival offers seven shows ranging from prose to cabaret, from children's performances to poetry, up to tributes to great cultural figures. The theater thus confirms itself as a place of entertainment, reflection and growth, thanks to shows capable of stimulating imagination and critical thinking.
Great attention is paid to environmental and social issues, with productions that address current and universal issues, in a mix of different languages and narrative codes . There is no shortage of parallel initiatives such as book sharing, the "suspended ticket" and audience voting after each show, confirming the desire to make spectators increasingly involved and participatory.
