Pandemonium Teatro

Pandemonium Teatro is a cultural enterprise that has been involved in Children’s Theatre for almost thirty years. It was founded in 1988 on the initiative of actors and operators who had already been active in Italy for a decade, following the Ray Bradbury Festival, an event thanks to which, for the first time in Italy, the works of the great American master of ‘fantasy’ literature were produced and performed. The festival imposed a new dramaturgical reflection, so much so that its promoters decided to continue it by founding Pandemonium Teatro. The company’s work is characterised by the search for a new dramaturgy and a growing focus on theatrical narration, understood as a space to foster the actor-creator. Orality, new dramaturgy and reflection on the theatrical space are therefore the basic elements of the productions, which range from the comic to the dramatic. His is a ‘borderline theatre’, where the borderline also becomes a line of contact between different territories, a space where several languages are spoken, where the ‘different’ is mixed.

Pandemonium Teatro also organises theatre workshops and matinees for schools in the area, dedicating -also with initiatives in the field of conferences and small-scale publishing- particular attention to the relationship between theatre and education, and reviews dedicated to families on behalf of a number of municipal administrations in the Lombardy region.

Pandemonium Teatro is supported by the Ministry of Culture as a Theatre Production Centre and by the Lombardy Region as an Affiliated Entity.
