CantieriMeticci: where migrants, refugees and and italians become ‘professionals of the arts’.

A journey towards the Other, re-reading Shakespeare’s Tempest The article highlights the experience of ‘CantieriMeticci’, a theatre group which started a few years ago in Bologna, the initiative of Pietro Floridia.

It is a heterogeneous ensemble where migrants refugees and asylum seekers join Italians and Europeans: And the ‘opportunity to become artistic professionals is given to people who we meet on the street.’ We present a reading in progress that the Company gave of Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’, focused on the figure of Caliban.

The texts developed by the young actors o the groups start from key concepts like ghetto, colonialisation, and stigma and use what Floridia defines as ‘ a work of deconstruction-reconstruction of the text’ evoking the interpretation of the relationship between Prospero and Caliban in the light of the slave/boss, anticolonial model used by some of the most authoritative writers of Postcolonial Studies: from Frantz Fanon to Aimé Césaire who were inspired by Shakespeare’s text.
