the smallest theatre in the world

He has every reason to be proud: his theatre may be as little as 38 square meters, but it’s great and as complete as it could be; a little gem in town. There’s a little stage with curtains, professional lighting and sound, behind the scenes you’ll find a tiny dressing room full of costumes, wigs and masks, and the audience (the theatre can accommodate a maximum of 40 people, if everyone’s willing to huddle together) can admire the panels on the walls, that have been created by local artists.

Lo Teatrí, founded in 2018, is a dream come true for Ignazio. As an actor and a theatre maker he always wanted to have his own theatre, but of course that would be a costly venture for a struggling artist. Until he stumbled upon this little garage and decided to turn things creatively around and to take matters in his own hands.  ‘As I entered the garage, I imagined the possibility of creating my own little theatre’,  he says now, and so he did. ‘I also wanted to fill a gap and create a meeting point for the youngest generation.’
