With San Vittore Globe Theatre - Atto II dedicated to Shakespeare and entirely performed by women, Centro Europeo Teatro e Carcere and its “open” company of artists, citizens and prisoners returns to the Piccolo, a travelling theatre which gains “leave” on stage. Storms and shipwrecks become the mirror for everyone’s going astray, while theatre becomes means to save oneself.

After San Vittore Globe Theatre, staged during the 2014/2015 season, the Centro Europeo Teatro e Carcere returns to the Piccolo to present the results of a twenty-year project in prisons with a company “open” to artists, youngsters, citizens and prisoners.
A theatre rehearsed in the corridors and courtyards, presented in the Rotonda of the Milanese prison, in prison libraries and in the common areas, which, with the collaboration of the Prison Management and the Law Courts, leads to the obtaining of “leave”. San Vittore Globe Theatre - Atto II is a work dedicated to Shakespeare, acted entirely by women. Monologues and dialogues taken from the Tempest and other works by the Bard, performed by actresses who are both inmates and non. The work is the result of a workshop of “auto dramaturgy” Dentro/Fuori San Vittore conducted by the director and playwright Donatella Massimilla, who unites Shakespearean verse with the writings of the inmates. Stories, storms and shipwrecks become the mirror for the misdirection of every one of them, and at the same time art, theatre and writing becomes a way to be saved.
Duration: 60 minutes
