Castelleone, Italy – Alice nella città, a cultural space located at Via Cicogna 5, is set to host two evenings dedicated to theater and shared reading, beginning February 20th. The events aim to foster participation and showcase artistic quality within the community.
The first event, scheduled for Friday, February 20th at 9:00 PM, will feature a performance of Molière’s “Il Malato Immaginario” (The Imaginary Invalid) by the resident theater company, Teatrovare, under the direction of Davide Pini Carenzi. The production promises to highlight the play’s brisk pace and satirical elements, offering a fresh take on this classic work. The story centers on Argante, a man consumed by illness and surrounded by questionable doctors, providing a comedic lens through which to examine themes of fear, hypochondria and social conventions.
Due to limited seating, reservations are required for the theatrical performance and can be made via WhatsApp at +338 6236722 or +375 6739380. The following evening, Saturday, February 21st at 9:00 PM, Alice nella città will host a “Community Reading” focused on Virginia Woolf’s “Orlando.”
The reading will be presented and moderated by Laura Garbelli, and will provide a space for shared reading and open discussion around Woolf’s groundbreaking novel. “Orlando,” spanning eras, identities, and transformations, invites participants to contemplate time, gender, and the construction of self, encouraging a collective dialogue that blends personal experience with cultural reflection.
A Hub for Cultural Engagement
These two events, while distinct in format, complement each other in reinforcing Alice nella città’s role as a gathering place for cultural exchange, participation, and in-depth exploration. The space aims to be a vibrant center for the community, offering opportunities for both artistic enjoyment and intellectual stimulation.
Admission to both events is free with a valid Arci membership for the 2025-2026 season.
