The Teatro cerca Casa is the theatrical review conceived by Manlio Santanelli who brings the theater in private houses, to cancel the distances between actors and spectators.
From 2 October 2017 will start the sixth edition of The Theater seeks Home, theatrical review edited by the playwright Manlio Santanelli and that for the past five years has revolutionized the conventional concept of "theater", bringing it back to its origins, to that intimate and close relationship between actor and spectator.
The particularity of this original and interesting initiative consists in the fact that all the shows, concerts, meetings and performances scheduled take place in private apartments, made available by anyone who wants and can host artists and the public, in a newfound proximity and without any more real barriers between those who make theater and those who assist you. At the end of each show a direct confrontation between actors and spectators is foreseen, which have the opportunity to meet up together to eat something, beyond any screen or fiction.
The presentation of the 2017 / 2018 season de The Theater seeks Home was held, to bring the participants into the spirit of the initiative right away, right in the living room of Manlio Santanelli, in his private home, surrounded by books, works of art and a lot of passion for theater and life.
The Theater seeks Home it is a cultural project born with the idea of innovate contemporary theater starting from its structure and its spatiality. It is, as Santanelli himself points out, "A chance, an opportunity for theater and viewers to experience a different dimension of enjoyment of a live performance". With the aim of bringing a new audience closer to the theater, the proposed theatrical typology has managed to zero the traditional concepts related to conventional theater (the hall, the audience, the stage, the scenography, the curtain) also denying the place universally recognized as "theater", starting from scratch and putting at the center of the representation the possibility of telling stories, in close contact with the spectator.
