General Information
Teatro Potlach operates as an international school of theatrical arts and crafts since 1976 in Fara Sabina (Lazio, Italy). It produced several street performances both for children and grown-ups and many successful performances, as the recent “Twenty thousand leagues under the seas”, winner of the Best Actress award at the International Festival of Teheran. It already took part to 4 interreg programmes. Since its birth, Teatro Potlach hosted actors and companies from all over the world, and regularly participates to international festivals in Europe, India, Middle East and South America. It has connection with 12 Italian and 6 foreign theatre companies, and with 4 European universities. Teatro Potlach is a member of the International association of theatre companies with premises in monumental European centres. The company counts 10 permanent actors and 2 executives with administrative jobs. Teatro Potlach is receive a grant from the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage.
Mission and Objectives

Teatro Potlach was founded in 1976 by Pino Di Buduo and Daniela Regnoli and takes its name from the anthropological studies of the founders. In the language of the indigenous peoples of North-Western America it refers to the free gift which gives honour and prestige to those who give it and those who receive it as well, in this way going beyond the laws of the market and of profit.
The history of Teatro Potlach begins in the years of the Roman theatre avantgarde, with a choice of rejection of mainstream theatre and the search for a new creative and geographical dimension. This eventually led its founding members to single out Fara Sabina, a small village within the Rieti province, as the base of the theatre. This choice has meant for Potlach a way of making theatre outside both traditional and avantgarde circuits, thereby inventing a dimension of coexistence and communal life as a premise and condition for the theatrical work proper.
In order to work on the technical essence of the theatre, and on the search for the total actor and of a kind of dramatic composition based on physical movement, it is meaningful for the actor to commit him- or herself to ongoing self-training. This takes the performer beyond the institutional idea of the theatre and into a constant exchange with the circus and with dance and musical performance through the constant experience of travelling and the ensuing contact on the field with performing cultures from Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Main Projects / Activities

Teatro Potlach has been expressing its artistic identity through the production of indoor as well as outdoor performances, and through pedagogical activities involving a range of expressive and performing techniques, with an ongoing exchange of ideas and techniques with national and international groups as part of the search for a professional approach capable of addressing every audience.
To this day the activity of theatre pedagogy is central in the work of the director and of the actors. Over the years the original core has acquired numerous regular or occasional collaborators met during the many tours and whilst travelling to explore other realities of the theatre.
A development of the ongoing research into the pedagogy, the composition and the space of action has been the production, over the past seventeen years (1991-2011), of many and varied performances of the Città invisibili project. For this Teatro Potlach was able to involve artists and communities from urban centres in Europe and in America. This project continues to reflect and regenerate the foundations of theatrical work outside theatres by transforming the spaces of everyday life through the discovery of the cultural identity of each place and the use of the creative energy of its inhabitants.

General Information
Terra del Fuoco is an association for social promotion in cultural field, founded in 2001 by a group of young people springing from the students’ movement in Torino, Italy. It is an NGO operating in the field of international cooperation. The activities are organized based on four strands of intervention: – international cooperation and cooperation to development – education to active citizenship in an European context – cultural promotion and social support to migrant communities – social and cultural promotion in the Mediterranean area. Since 2005 Terra del Fuoco adheres to Libera – Associazioni, nomi e numeri contro le mafie, a second-level organization committed to the social struggle against mafias, operating on a national level. The main objectives in our work are: - To promote the social and economical development of depressed areas, above all of the new fellow member Countries of EU and the Countries within the EU area of influence, through international cooperation. We intend to promote and extend the social anti-mafia through the promotion of democratic processes, of the culture of human rights and of the social struggle against international organized crime. - To promote the cultural growth of the young European citizens and the sense of European citizenship, through international youth exchange and international educational projects. - To promote the social role of the migrant communities through projects focused on social and cultural support; to promote multicultural education, especially among the young and younger Italians; to support the overcoming of the cultural gap among the young migrants of the second generation.
Mission and Objectives

Terra del Fuoco is an NGO promoted by a movement of young people committed to support the process of European integration, sustaining an idea of Europe based upon the dignity and the rights of persons. Terra del Fuoco believes the constitution of a transnational, federal, solidal subject to be the generational objective of the latest sons of the 20th Century. Building Europe can create an example to other geographical areas, as well as a balancing structure for the whole world.
Therefore, we mainly work in the fields of international cooperation, especially with the Countries of the recent and future Europe, we develop youth programmes of education to European citizenship, and on our territories we promote the integration of migrants, particularly coming from the Countries of our cooperation projects, supporting the composition of a new social background and a new citizenship.

Main Projects / Activities

TRAIN OF MEMORY. Since 2005, the Train of Memory brings Italian students to visit the former extermination camps in Poland. It is, first of all, a year-long educational path. It focuses upon four keywords, spelling its timetable also: history, intended as analysis of the World War II phenomenon, of its effects on territories and of the lowest points reached in the recent global history. Memory, intended as personalization, encounter and confrontation with the few remaining witnesses, with the entities working in order to preserve memory, and above all with the places impregnate with it. Testimony, that is the encounter with all the situations that at present show the loss of dignity and human rights, in order not to forget that the “must not to let it happen anymore” depends upon collective effort by everyone, at at last commitment, our proposal for all, in the small ambition of our everyday lives, to be able to look out and contribute not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The Train has also a local extension named MEMOBUS.
IL DADO: Since 2005 we work upon the safeguard of a Rom community in Borgaro, nearby Turin.
We assist underage youngsters in the educational field whereas adults are supported in job-hunting and all bureaucratic issues – due also to the recent membership of Romania gained in the EU. In 2008, Il Dado is born: the first experience of auto-restructuring and auto-building addressed to the Rom community in Piedmont.
Other projects are focused on both the youth education and promotion of active citizenship, and on the social promotion of migrant communities, especially of Roma communities in Italy.

Founding values of the association's action are:

- the right of all citizens to animate processes of social, economic and cultural sustainability;
- the idea that the only sustainable and acceptable development is based on peace, respect for human rights and democracy, on the rejection of all racist, sexist or religious discrimination;

We believe in the strength of networking, the need for exchange and dialogue, and the personal and professional growth that comes from working with partners from different sectors: local and international NGOs, institutions, agencies, schools, universities. As an organization, we work so that everyone has the opportunity to fit into civil society in a worthy manner, following their inclinations, meeting their needs and fulfilling their desires. We believe in the bond that exists between individuals and communities and that only through the enhancement of both and the cooperation of all societal instances, locally as well as globally, is it possible to build an inclusive, just, sustainable and intercultural society.

On 27 and 28 October 2022 Pitigliano hosted the IV International Conference "The gates of the Mediterranean. The culture of water, source of dialogue and integral and sustainable human development': the event was conceived and hosted by the Diocese of Pitigliano-Sovana-Orbetello, realised in collaboration with the University of Florence, the Municipality of Pitigliano and with the associations La piccola Gerusalemme, Prospettive mediterranee and Rete italiana per il dialogo euro-mediterraneo, the head of the Italian network of the Anna Lindh Foundation.  The two days were actively attended by Christian, Islamic, and Jewish religious representatives, EU representatives, and cultural experts, who listened and discussed with each other in a proactive atmosphere. The conference provided a valuable opportunity for reflection and dialogue on several levels: first on the situation in Jerusalem and in the Middle East in general, then the illustrious results of the MAECI archaeological mission to Ashkelon were presented, and finally, an inter-religious and cultural dialogue on water as an indispensable source of life was stimulated during a round table discussion.
