I started out on stage, as an actor with Giorgio Barberio Corsetti in 1984 at the Venice Biennale; I then moved behind the scenes, working as an assistant director at the Teatro alla Scala, and later at leading Italian and European theatres and festivals, collaborating in particular with Luca Ronconi and Graham Vick. I moved beyond the curtain, directing my first production in 1991 at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, and subsequently directing for some of Italy’s most important theatres (Turin, Florence, Palermo, Rome, Venice, Spoleto, Reggio Emilia, Parma, Trieste, Bologna, Genoa, Macerata). In 2006, I returned to the Scala<\/a> with one of my productions, and in 2010, I found myself at the NCPA<\/a> in Beijing. I took a step back and found myself producing OPERAOGGI<\/a>, Italy’s first opera touring company (over forty performances in squares, quarries, theatres, parks and industrial archaeology sites across five different Italian regions). Then, taking a sideways step, I became the librettist for Nicola Sani\u2019s opera \u2018Falcone, il tempo sospeso del volo\u2019, which has already had three different productions and was broadcast on RAI 5 on the thirtieth anniversary of the Capaci bombing<\/a>. I began to look at things from a different perspective, teaching (Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia, Scuola dell\u2019Opera Italiana in Bologna, IUAV University, Academies of Fine Arts in Carrara, Turin, Brera and Rome). Bringing together my entire career, I recently curated The Prague Experiment (Award for Imagination at the 13th Prague Quadrennial) and The Milan Experiment (the inaugural project of Brera Accademia Aperta), which attracted 3,000 visitors in five days (www.imaginometricsociety.com). I am currently leading a HORIZON 2020 research project (EU4ART_differences, Work Package 4<\/a>) aimed at creating a digital ecosystem for creative knowledge, which involves the Academies of Rome, Dresden, Riga and Budapest, the Polytechnic University of the Marche and the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence. I run a blog dedicated to the ketogenic diet for epilepsy (www.ketogourmet.blog<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":118341,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-131424","docenti","type-docenti","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abaroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docenti\/131424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abaroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docenti"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abaroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docenti"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abaroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abaroma.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
