LA MEGLIO GIOVENTÚ – Bisushio, Italy

Project Description

The “La meglio gioventù” project is a festival organized by Intrecci Teatrali that is based on a philosophy of close collaboration with adolescents. Its goal is to unite the professional world of theater with young people who study this discipline, making them the protagonists and “primary voice” of the festival. The project stems from the belief that an active and constant dialogue with young people is fundamental to building a “thinking” community and to developing initiatives in tune with their experiences and backgrounds.

The Role of Teens in the Project

The role of the young people in this project is one of ideation and co-curatorship. Specifically, the young people:

• Actively contribute to defining the theme of the festival.
• Dialogue with the organization to share ideas and reflections that guide the development of the theme.
• View the shows with the staff and provide their point of view for the final choices.
• Are the protagonists of the festival’s activities, from visual paths to workshops and moments of discussion.

Unique Project Feature

The unique feature of “La meglio gioventù” is the approach that makes young people the absolute protagonists and the primary voice of the festival. Unlike other events “for young people,” this project is “by young people,” because they are the ones who guide its design and curatorship. This co-creation model unites professional artists, directors, and technicians with theater students, creating an environment where the ideas and experiences of young people are at the center of the programming.

Based on the legend you provided, the project falls into the Ideation / Co-creation category, identified by the color Lime Green.
