Founded in 1989, Retablo is distinguished by a collective identity that embraces creative diversity.

Our DNA: Dissimilarity as Virtue.

Our DNA: Dissimilarity as Virtue.

Playwrights, performers, content creators, musicians, directors, designers and researchers: our team comes from different disciplines, experiences and visions, united by the desire to create art that inspires and reflects the complexity of contemporary reality. With us, uniqueness is value: no one speaks the same artistic “language,” but together we build something that tells the story of reality in all its nuances!

WHY WE ARE CALLED RETABLO

A Retablo of Stories

A Retablo of Stories

The retablo is an altarpiece with several pictorial compartments. It is a work that lives in the dialogue between its pieces, revealing itself one fragment at a time, interweaving layered textures and multiplying perspectives, revealing unexpected and profound connections. Retablo is our name and our method: a continuous intersection of tradition and future, reality and symbol, space and community, theater and innovation. Each project brings to the stage not only a work, but a living dialogue with the complex reality around us.

Production

It's not just performances: discover our intermedial experiences that defy the laws of physics and imagination! Virtual and non-virtual dramaturgies that reconstruct a historical, mythical and territorial memory.

Planning

We have lots of ideas and, we admit it, we know how to put them in order! Explore our democratic, acrobatic and experimental designs!

Artist Spotlight

Each meeting is an opportunity to sculpt new ideas and broaden our constellation. Here we celebrate the creatives who have chosen to collaborate with us, because without them, we would be just an empty stage.

From South to North: A Network of Collaborations

Where is Retablo located?

From Catania to Cremona via Rome, we operate in an active network in Sicily, Lazio and Lombardy, collaborating with cultural centers and institutions throughout the territory. Each project is a piece of an artistic narrative that crosses borders and unites visions, because our goal is to create open spaces of innovation and sharing: Retablo is always on stage, and the stage is always open.

DREAM-
ATURGY
ZONE

Dreamaturgy Zone is our permanent, multidisciplinary, multi-territorial curatorial project designed to bring to life unique theatrical prototypes modeled on local realities. It is a connected network of spaces and visions, where each action “re-fertilizes” the social fabric through the cultural activism of performing and media arts.
