Sciara Progetti A.P.S. - E.T.S.

Sciara Progetti Teatro, an artistic production company founded in 2009 by a group of young professionals who, after years of experience and training in Germany, England, Spain, Chile and Argentina, decided to settle in Emilia-Romagna Region in 2012.
For four years Sciara Progetti has resided at the Verdi Theatre in the city of Fiorenzuola D'Arda (PC), a location obtained by winning a public tender issued by the Municipality. Since its establishment in the province of Piacenza, Sciara Progetti Teatro has established itself as the main Under35 theatre company operating in the area, and the Emilia Romagna Region has supported its activity since 2016 through public recognition as a show production organization (LR 13/1999 ). Sciara Progetti has an intense collaboration with a wide national network of highschools disseminated all over the Italian territory, as well as Universities.

Always, Sciara Progetti Teatro has built part of its identity around an intense tour, along all national roads and beyond. The tour of Sciara Progetti productions is built through distribution throughout the national territory, also addressed to a network of "unconventional" contexts, where it is more immediate to attract the attention of that public that usually leaves the official theatre. Reaching the public that has less chance of meeting the Theatre and bringing it closer to the artistic moment is one of the primary objectives of the Company. However, Sciara Progetti's planning also pursues paths beyond national borders thanks also to the foreign collaborations initiated with the Erasmus Plus program, an internationalization project of a show has been undertaken, which is leading the Company to interface with the European theatrical panorama. In 2019, Sciara Progetti's shows were distributed between Italy and Germany.
Sciara Progetti aims at combining theatre, education and social inclusion. Thanks to various collaborations with playwrights, musicians, audio-video technicians, set designers, architects, psychologists, teachers, Sciara Progetti has realized:
15 productions and co-productions in 9 years
600 replays in more than 100 Italian and foreign municipalities
12 years of shows
500.000 spectators and about 300.000 km crossed
24 Countries of the world
The organization mainly focuses on: theatre production, educational projects and theatre workshops.

As complementary activities Sciara has implemented:
- organization of events and exhibitions to promote theatre as a tool for representing the today society;
- cultural education actions directed at youngsters;
- innovative and digital approaches.
In the last four years, Sciara Progetti has also implemented projects within Erasmus+ Programme (KA1, KA2 mainly) and Creative Europe Programme.
The topics addressed so far are gender equality, bullying, environmental and nature respect, transition to digital.
The company was born from the union of two professionals of the Theatre and Psychology:
- Emilia Mangano, Psychologist and organizational director of the company, graduated with 110 cum laude in psychology from the University of Padua, and
- Ture Magro, between theatre and cinema, actor and double author Nastro D'Argento as screenwriter in 2009 and 2011, actor in various national companies and artistic director of Sciara Progetti Teatro.

The dual soul of Sciara Progetti - artistic and psycho-pedagogical - has allowed the company to devote part of its energy to the realization of artistic-didactic paths, training activities, workshops and European projects for the Erasmus Plus program for non-formal education, in Italy and abroad, integrating them into his own theatrical research in a coherent and meaningful way.
