Archabout worked on the creation of the first project of theatre landscape done in Rome in the Pietralata area. A result of a long research activity on the area, which was done through surveys, interviews, photography laboratories, videos and perception laboratories of the spaces, the project meant to create an itinerant experience that is open to residents starting with the theme of shared space.
A testimony of places and relationships born in the heart with the experience of the fight for a house, a phenomena around which the inhabitants – who were sent to live in the outskirts following the evacuations of the historical centre done by Mussolini – have built and avenged their own identity over time. A dramatic composition of the landscape aimed at highlighting meanings, contents and dynamics that are different according to the areas of the district, centred on the idea of unveiling and recounting links that are often invisible between places and people. An experiment open to architects, urban planners, sociologists and artists, with the aim of formulating unpublished hypotheses of development, starting with the values and resources present in the area.
The project, which was created by the group Theatrearchitecture, was
conceived by Ilaria Vasdeki and built in partnership with Barbara
Renzi, Gregorio Amicuzi (Residui Theatre), Fabrizio Boni (Laboratorio3)
and Archabout. Co-financed by the European Youth Program, with the
patronage of the Order of Architects of Rome, the Local Authority for
Cultural Policies and Local Authority for Policies for the Suburbs, was
done in the Pietralata area from September 2005 and ended in June 2006
with the help of the residents.
