La Dramaturgie is a theatre company based in Mattinata, Apulia, specializing in contemporary playwriting. The Company has introduced key international authors in Italy providing them visibility and spotlight opportunities. This happened with Argentinian playwright Rafael Spregelburd who could be known and staged by an important director like Luca Ronconi (at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan and at the Spoleto Festival) and at the Napoli Teatro Festival Italia after the presentation of his work made by our organizations at the Quartieridell’Arte Festival in 2009.
The company’s project “In mezzo alleterre” was given the status of progettospeciale (special project) and supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture (MIBACT).
In recent years the company has worked on hybrid products integrating performance art, digital arts, film and theatre.
The Company’s most recent works include hybridcinetheatrical projects on old masters of visual arts involving materials specially created by contemporary authors such as Gian Maria Cervo and Francesco Di Mauro mixed with quotes from classics such as Michelangelo, Vittoria Colonna and Pietro Aretino. In those projects respected acclaimed actors of the new generations have starred such as Fausto Cabra (Piccolo Teatro Milan), Federico Russo (protagonist of several Disney series and of the Netflix hit Curon) and Marco Cacciola (Sense8).
The company has also coproduced a performance-installation by renowned contemporary artist Luigi Ontani at the Quartieridell’Arte Festival in 2017.
The Company teamincludes legal representative Marco Vaccari, managing consultant Dionisio Capuano, chief-dramaturg curator Gian Maria Cervo, videomaker Francesco Di Mauro, resident actors-performers Cesare Ceccolongo and Luigi Cosimelli.
