IncontrArti – Theatre as a crossroads of cultures

Starting in January 2026, IncontrArti is a theatre workshop for adults and young adults, open to everyone who wishes to approach theatre as a space for encounter, listening and shared creation.

IncontrArti is rooted in the idea of theatre as a universal language, capable of overcoming linguistic and cultural boundaries through the body, gesture, action, voice and, above all, group work. A journey in which theatrical play becomes a tool to blend languages, traditions, music and personal experiences, giving rise to new stories, improvisations, characters, masks and collective narratives.

A creative group, open to the community

Throughout the year, the workshop includes the creation of one or two performances, participation in initiatives by Teatro Zigoia and the Accademia Teatro Dimitri, as well as encounters with local cultural organizations and community events.

A dynamic, multicultural and constantly evolving experience that places relationships, sharing and dialogue at its core.

Workshop leaders

The workshop is led by Lianca Pandolfini, actress with Teatro Zigoia and holder of a Master’s degree from the Accademia Dimitri, and Ramazan Rahimi, an actor of Afghan origin and a key figure in the IncontrArti project since its inception. For years, they have been developing theatre workshops and projects in social and educational contexts, with a particular focus on working with people from migrant backgrounds. The project is supported by Sabryie Uzan, who provides organizational support and translation.
