Divadelní a dramatická představení

Dutch magician Rafael Scholten has received numerous prestigious awards, including the audience and jury prizes at the Monte-Carlo Circus Festival. He is also a two-time national magic champion in the Netherlands and Switzerland. Time travel, destiny and the question of why human beings want to believe in magic – these are the themes that Rafael addresses in his magic show with subtle humour and playful lightness. With his collection of curiosities, he captivates his audience and transports them to a world suspended between illusion and reality.Inspired by the great magicians of the Victorian era, he creates an elegant and poetic form of magic. With simple props and the thoughts of the audience, he performs wonders – surprising, profound and always engaging. A show for adults and children aged 5 and up that leaves you speechless – and suspends reality for a moment.

Magic up close - with style, charm and method:

Nicolai Friedrich inspires with his unique magic and charming stage presence.

His repertoire ranges from classic masterpieces to specially developed illusions that are unique in the world. In his shows, reality and illusion become blurred: objects float, transform or appear in inexplicable places. Drawings come to life, thoughts are read - seemingly effortlessly he overrides the laws of nature.

A show full of amazement, laughter and magical moments - that will be remembered for a long time.

The evocative – and revealing – power of memory and the archive is the central focus of Analogica 15, which – with the valued collaboration of the Fas Film Association of Southtyrol and the ZeLIG School for Documentary – presents the extraordinary and essential film by Maciej J. Drygas. Trains, a film entirely composed of archival materials, will be screened for the first time in Bolzano. Drygas was expected to join us in Bolzano to present the film and lead a masterclass he had prepared with great enthusiasm. But Trains is – quite literally – moving fast, and in November it will compete at the prestigious Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards in the United States, a recognition that could pave the way for an Academy Award nomination. The director will therefore be in New York to promote the film in anticipation of a possible – and, we might add, much-desired – nomination. The resonance of Drygas’s film will nonetheless be carried forward in a masterclass dedicated to the use of archives, led by Alessia Petitto, an Italian archive producer who has worked on archival research for Marco Bellocchio, Paolo Taviani, and Pietro Marcello. Memory as a creative and narrative resource is the theme of the masterclass, divided into two sessions, which Analogica presents in collaboration with Fas and ZeLIG. Private archives – a field of research and experimentation to which Analogica is deeply committed – are also represented in the program of Analogica Selection 15. Comprising 42 films from around the world, the selection showcases the most recent avant-garde film production on celluloid. Divided into 8 programs, the screenings will be hosted in the atmospheric 12th-century cellar of the historic Casa della Pesa (Waaghaus), a landmark building in Bolzano’s old town, with the support of the friends of WAAG. Also at WAAG, filmmaker Marina Baldo will present BETA, an intimate and immersive performance – once again a journey into the private and personal memory of the Bolzano-born artist. Closing this rich edition of Analogica is French artist and avant-garde filmmaker Gaëlle Rouard, who, in addition to leading a workshop on the reproduction and creation of 16mm loops hosted at FotoForum, will present her latest and striking work, projected in 16mm: DARKNESS, DARKNESS, BURNING BRIGHT. DARKNESS, DARKNESS, BURNING BRIGHT. ANALOGICA 15 awaits you in Bolzano – five days of encounters, screenings, masterclasses, and conversations. And the light – and the sound – of the projecto

The Musa Leggera has one flaw: she always wants to do more and do it better. And the first part of the 2025/26 Season (a season full of big numbers) is striking proof of this ongoing commitment: two legendary, spectacular musicals in their Italian versions for a joyful dive into the fabulous fifties: "Sette spose per sette fratelli" and "Cantando sotto la pioggia" (both also with special encore performances outside the subscription); the national hit of the year ("Sapore di mar") evoking summer loves, carefree moments and timeless melodies from the sixties; a brand-new show about the musical icons of another decade overflowing with hits ("80 voglia di 80"); and finally, two delightful and original gems in the spirit of cabaret and music "Derby Cabaret" (featuring the return of the great singer Luisa Corna) and "Giradischi e papillon". Unmissable events that bring us together once again in the magic of the theatre of smiles.

On Thursday, November 20, UNESCO celebrates World Philosophy Day.

Each presentation must not exceed six minutes and can be delivered in either German or Italian. Submissions are open to everyone.

They are Switzerland's most famous author couple. In their now cult columns ‘Schreiber vs. Schneider’, they analyse everyday life as a couple with humour – with pleasure and sincerity. Because many years of living together are not a 100-metre sprint, but a 3,000-metre obstacle course: with barriers, water ditches, disastrous falls and sudden cramps. The German woman and her Swiss husband tell stories, provoke, joke and improvise – even on stage – with great success! Schreiber vs. Schneider make their way, authentically and spontaneously, through the pitfalls of life as a couple. Their conclusion: those who love should also know how to breathe – and above all have a sense of humour. Because self-irony is the best energy drink for tackling any Paarcours d'amour.

Trina and Erich. A young woman, a man. Two voices. Two witnesses. Two victims. We are in Curon in the Vinschgau Valley, just a few kilometers from the Austrian border. The beautiful novel Resto qui by Marco Balzano becomes a theatrical play with two characters and many more voices, brought to life by the bodies and mastery of Arianna Scommegna and Mattia Fabris: they are Trina and Erich, witnesses, victims, and, when necessary, even executioners. They are the witnesses of an entire community wiped out in the name of progress and a dam that was almost useless—except to erase the lives of some hundreds of families who had resisted everything, including the First and Second World Wars, changes of nationality, fascism, and forced choices. “Through a dramaturgical weave of narrated parts and dialogues, this yet another ugly chapter of Italian history unfolds. A simple, lean staging: as Melville would have written it, ancient and melancholic. A story of dirty hands and tenacity, anger, violence, and remorse. Sketches. The story of simple women and men who did not accept surrender and now—before the Tribunal of Humanity and for a daughter who is no longer there—relive their long and humiliating defeat,” writes Francesco Niccolini, author and director of the play. The two protagonists, husband and wife, each tell their own version of the story: between Fontamara and Rashomon, there will be partly coinciding, partly different and complementary versions that will compose a pale and painful but dignified picture to present to the audience. Because you can lose the battle, but not be defeated: this is exactly what happens to Trina. By Marco Balzano Theatrical adaptation and direction by Francesco Niccolini With Arianna Scommegna and Mattia Fabris Set design: Antonio Panzuto Costumes: Emanuela Dall’Aglio Lighting: Alessandro Verazzi Original music: Dimitri Grechi Espinoza Production: Teatro Stabile di Bolzano, Piccolo Teatro di Milano – Teatro d’Europa

500 years ago, Michael Gaismair fought for justice and participation in the Tyrolean Peasants' War. Naturally, women also played a role in the course of events: many, including Magdalena Gaismair, actively and behind the scenes participated in the uprisings. However, in the relatively few sources from this period, women are scarcely mentioned. Already in the 16th century, what would later be repeatedly confirmed applied: in the struggle for freedom, equality, and "brotherhood," women often were left with nothing but housework. Director Michaela Senn and her team are developing a play about the gaps in historical records, the everyday struggle for equality, and the power of solidarity. The theater piece was created in cooperation with Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen and the local association Vigil Raber Kuratorium and is an event of "Mitmischen! Ma come?" – a project of the City and Multscher Museum of Vipiteno as part of the Euregio Museum Year 2025, funded by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano – South Tyrol, the Municipality of Vipiteno, and private sponsors. DATES AND TIMES 11/22 - 8:00 PM 11/23 - 6:00 PM 11/24 - 8:00 PM Cast: Margot Mayrhofer & Katrin Rabensteiner Direction & Concept: Michaela Senn Texts & Concept: Maria C.

Experience the adventures of Kaspara and her friends in our large puppet theatre. While playing hide and seek, Kaspara finds a large, shiny glittering stone. Who could have lost it? For whom: children >4 years old Languages: German and Italian

"Doppio Taglio" (in italian) is a narrative show which, while addressing the topic fortunately much discussed in recent times, of violence against women, stands out for the choice of a transversal perspective: not the story of the victim, nor that of a witness or much less of the executioner, but the curious difference in level of some media mechanisms through which our perception of the fact is shaped.

John is a university professor who is about to be promoted and buy a property. Carol is his student who is afraid of failing because she often simply does not understand the professor's technical terms. He finds her ‘likeable’ and believes he understands her. His hand on Carol's shoulder, a casual gesture meant to reassure her, proves to be his undoing. Was it perhaps sexual assault after all? Was there more at stake than sympathy? What does Carol hope to achieve with her accusations, which could cost John his career?

María Grand & Maya Keren (CH/USA) María Grand: sax Maya Keren: piano A major all-female encounter between Geneva-born saxophonist, singer, and composer María Grand and emerging pianist Maya Keren, originally from Philadelphia and now based in Brooklyn. The compositions, almost entirely original, weave together free improvisations and hyper-precisely written music: some inspired by María’s exploration of the human subconscious, others born from purely mathematical ideas, creating a virtuosic sound reminiscent of classic “straight ahead” jazz. The duo tells stories of modern women with ancient roots, capable of unfolding in real time and revealing archetypes and futuristic wonders. The goal is never to play “correctly,” but to give free rein to experience, with all the risks and pleasures that come with it. Above all, the music focuses on what touches the human: sincere, intense, and intentional. Event: Monday, December 1, 2025, at Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM. www.mariakimgrand.com www.mayakerenmusic.com

Franco Branciaroli is the protagonist of Sior Todero Brontolon, a masterpiece by Carlo Goldoni presented in 1762 at the Teatro San Luca in Venice and received with great warmth right from its debut. Miserly, imperious, irritating with the servants, oppressive with his son and granddaughter, distrustful and touchy towards the world: it would seem impossible to empathise with Sior Todero Brontolon. Nonetheless, the indefinable ‘brontolòn’ has attracted actors of the calibre of Cesco Baseggio, Giulio Bosetti or Gastone Moschin, and it is now Branciaroli, a master of the contemporary stage, who offers an extraordinary and unexpected new interpretation directed by Paolo Valerio. It was Goldoni himself who was amazed at how a text centred on such an odious and negative character had achieved such success. Needless to say, the topicality and peculiarities of his Todero are unscathed even today. For the first time, Valerio's direction brings together Goldoni's world with that of puppets, two universes that meet in the microcosm of a real and imaginary place. A reinterpretation conducted with strict philological respect for the text and that - at the same time - brings to the stage an original intuition such as that of the puppets alongside the actors, as their alter egos. Valerio and Branciaroli are preparing to amaze the audience once again with their reinterpretation of a classic of Italian theatre, which can still suggest much to contemporary sensibilities. Just think of the subtle and decisive role that Goldoni entrusts, in the play, to the female world, the only one that in the dramaturgical development appears fully positive. And the finale of the play - at a time when the concept of “patriarchy” dominates our chronicles in its most distorted and leaden meanings - weaves a vein of disturbance into the joyfulness of the resolution. By Carlo Goldoni, dramaturgy Piermario Vescovo, with Franco Branciaroli and Piergiorgio Fasolo, Alessandro Albertin, Maria Grazia Plos, Ester Galazzi, Riccardo Maranzana, Valentina Violo, Emanuele Fortunati, Andrea Germani, Roberta Colacino in collaboration with I Piccoli di Podrecca. Director Paolo Valerio Sets Marta Crisolini Malatesta Costumes Stefano Nicolao Lights Gigi Saccomandi Music Antonio Di Pofi Stage movements Monica Codena Production Il Rossetti Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia, Teatro de gli Incamminati, Centro Teatrale Bresciano Duration: 140 minutes, including a break

Elena-Maria Knapp & Katarina Hauser (A): “KEIN.MUTTER.LAND“ If women don’t become mothers and mothers can’t cope – a performance by Julia Jenewein Motherhood is political. And so is the choice not to become a mother. From “It’ll happen sooner or later” to “You’ll regret it,” childless women or those who don’t intend to have children are often judged, while the “maternal instinct” is idealized and motherhood romanticized. With the most personal and intimate decision of their lives, women inevitably find themselves under public scrutiny, often losing their own voice. But what is motherhood really like? And what happens when one regrets becoming a mother? When one cannot become a mother, or when the biological clock doesn’t start ticking? In this performance, two women openly confront all the (often taboo) issues surrounding reproduction and the ability to give life: from mental load to “regretting motherhood,” from pregnancy (and abortion) to birth culture. An intense and provocative evening that explores everything arising from the “question of all questions”: the one about children. Event: Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM. www.juliajenewein.com
