In Italy, our company will be happy to meet travelers and artists with projects similar to ours, to create exchanges and sharing of ideas and projects.
We hope that our project "Morgana" is also a way to bring artists here in Italy: actors, playwrights, directors from other cities and make a play performed and written in different languages ​​of the Mediterranean.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The characteristic of our association has always been to mix languages ​​and art forms. Ever since our foundation in every show we have collaborated with artists of different origins (Italy, South America, Albania, Bosnia and Eregovina, France).
We have always tried to create a network of social and cultural exchange with other countries. We believe that being part of the ALF network will help us improve these objectives and to find good partnerships.
