OGANOS - community theatre

2022 and 2023

In 2022, FOMAS supported the community theatre project which was successfully completed in 2023; it was organised in Osnago, the company’s home-town.

The project developed in several stages. 

After the planning stage, a workshop was organised with the fifth grade students. The goal was to create a community map arising from the stories of the children's grandparents and parents and have them identify their favourite place in Osnago. 

Subsequently, a series of meetings was organised, leading to the involvement of 22 people, aged between 18 and 79, from different cultural and educational backgrounds. The testimonies collected were then converted by Gian Luca Favetto into stories, which were then transformed into a play by Filippo Ughi, who directed the final performance. 

At the same time, the people involved worked with photographer Bruno Zanzottera to organise an exhibition, taking photographs related to Osnago town and its history.

The project was concluded with a photo exhibition and a theatre performance.
