The venue hosts the international festival 'Testimonianze ricerca azioni', showcasing contemporary performances and workshops that explore new theatrical forms. Visitors encounter artistic experiments and discussions that challenge conventional ideas about theatre today.
The venue is located in the Sestri Ponente neighborhood within a school complex, so visitors should be aware they are entering an active educational space. Check the program in advance, as performances and events are scheduled year-round with varying formats.
The group received the Ubu Prize for special projects in 2017 and screened a documentary film at the Venice Biennale in 2022. These recognitions highlight how its work stands out within contemporary Italian theatre.
