The workshop is an intensive experience guided by the author, playwright and actor Michele Santeramo on creative writing. In particular, the work will focus on the drafting of the theatrical monologue through the analysis of the construction of an outline, the writing of the first draft, its revisions, the dialogue between actor and spectator. Above all, we will put at the center of the reflection, to be developed and frequented in a group, how even the monologue, in the theater, is always the outcome of a relationship, of a continuous dialogue between the two characters who always inhabit the scene: the actor and the spectator.

There are different ways to tell the life stories of people we feel… Well, maybe just writing “we feel” is enough to fully feel the movement that some forcefully awaken within us. Their story can be told and written by putting them at the center of a plot or you can tell what happens to the lives of others thanks to the life of that one. Oltretutto is this: a biography of the lives that have in different ways crossed paths with the life of Don Tonino Bello. Because, as the author writes, “there are lives that change lives”.

Storia d’amore e di calcio (Story of Love and Football) tells the story of the first clandestine football world championship in history. It is played in a village, between teams made up of immigrants. Whoever wins the world cup will rule over the underworld for a year. The stories the text tells link football and love. The protagonists are anonymous people, and the stories are set in a square, also anonymous but at the same time the container of the deep pulse of the lives of those few people who spend their time chasing their dreams, losing them, finding them again and rediscovering the pleasure of falling in love. Stories that tell of an Italy that is different from the usual, where the inhabitants still know each other, and worry about their children and establishing a sense of belonging to a community.

Michele Santeramo, playwright and actor, has written texts for the Teatro Nazionale della Toscana, the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, the Teatro di Roma, the Teatro Bellini in Naples. Winner of numerous prizes and awards (Riccione prize, ANCT prize, finalist for the UBU prize), his works have been performed in Italy, Romania, France, Poland, Brazil and the United States.
