The new season at Rimini’s Teatro Galli promises a vibrant mix of theater and dance, with a program that gives a strong voice to female artists, offers intelligent and witty social commentary, and uses the stage as a space for deep reflection. The lineup is rich with diverse performances, bringing some of the most important and recent Italian productions to Rimini. The shows feature prominent directors like Antonio Latella and Martin McDonagh, and star celebrated Italian actors, including Ambra Angiolini, Daniele Pecci, and Vinicio Marchioni. The season also welcomes major companies like Teatro dell’Elfo and the Balletto di Roma.
The main program, divided into the A-B-C series, is composed of seven shows that alternate between different moods and time periods, offering audiences a journey through laughter, bittersweet smiles, and profound insights. Meanwhile, the "Other Paths" program, or the D series, provides a focused look at contemporary society. This section of the season is unified by themes such as female narratives, tyranny, censorship, and the rhetoric of modern life, offering a powerful perspective on today's world.
Beyond the main subscription, the theater offers an exciting list of special performances. A major highlight is the return of the smash hit musical "Saturday Night Fever" on February 18th and 19th, produced by the Compagnia della Rancia. Comedy fans can look forward to a new monologue by the popular Italian comedian Paolo Cevoli on October 28th and 29th, and lovers of classic operetta will enjoy the Compagnia Corrado Abbati's production of "Cin Cin Là" on December 8th.
The dance season also presents two highly anticipated events featuring renowned Italian companies. The Balletto di Roma will restage their work "La dernière danse?" on November 28th. Following this, on January 31st, the Compagnia Artemis Danza/Monica Casadei will perform their piece titled "Puccini’s Opera - Voci di donne", an evocative production inspired by the famous composer's female characters.
"Theater No Limits": This special project is designed to make theater accessible for people with visual disabilities. It provides audio descriptions for three shows, allowing visually impaired audience members to fully appreciate costumes, movements, and other visual elements of the performance.
Youth and Family Theater: A special program for young audiences continues at the Teatro degli Atti. It includes a series of shows for schools and a family-focused initiative called "Sciroppo di Teatro", with three shows for children aged 3 to 11. Beyond this, there are four special events designed to support and showcase young local dancers, further strengthening the connection between the arts and the community.
