[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\u201cHAPPY diventare capaci<\/a>\u201d is a prevention and support intervention project aimed at enhancing the psychological well-being of adolescents in the Milan metropolitan area and the province of Monza and Brianza.<\/p>\n

Among the various activities we plan to offer, we particularly want to involve the young people in both creating and attending theatrical performances. The therapeutic value of theater is well known, and \u201cChi come me\u201d by Roy Chen\u2014directed by Andr\u00e9e Ruth Shammah\u2014tells the story of five young individuals undergoing treatment at a mental health center in Tel Aviv. This performance powerfully conveys that our youth are not alone in facing the traumas of the future and their overwhelming anxieties. In this perspective, the Foundation is collaborating with Teatro Franco Parenti for \u201cChi come me,\u201d which will be staged from October 1 to December 1, 2024.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pYgHqBuTVTQ”][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9e Ruth Shammah, following sold-out performances and high praise from critics in the last season, returns to the stage with \u201cChi come me,\u201d her new production. The text originated from the author\u2019s 2019 encounter with the medical staff and several young guests at a Tel Aviv mental health center, when he was invited to participate in a theater workshop. From that initial meeting grew a strong bond and the idea of creating a theatrical piece. The show premiered in 2020 at Teatro Gesher in Jaffa, achieving great success, and it has been on the repertoire ever since.<\/p>\n

The protagonists are five adolescents, aged between 13 and 17, who are patients in the youth ward of a mental health center due to various psychiatric disorders (anger outbursts, autism, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, gender dysphoria). These young performers bring to life a play about youth distress that deeply engages and moves the audience. Samuele Poma plays Barak (16 years old); Federico Di Giacomo portrays Emanuel (14 years old); Chiara Ferrara plays Alma (17 years old); Amy Boda takes on the role of Tamara\/Tom (15 years old); and Alia Stegani plays Ester (13 years old). The young actors are supported by Silvia Giulia Mendola, who plays Dorit, the new theater teacher, and by Paolo Briguglia (alternating with Fausto Cabra) as Dr. Baumann, the ward director, while Pietro Micci and Sara Bertel\u00e0 portray all of the protagonists\u2019 parents. The students participate in theater classes led by the young teacher\u2014appointed by the institute\u2019s director to help them express their emotions. Initially reluctant, they gradually become capable of sharing what they feel. They achieve this through theater, where they find their peace in a delicate and poetic performance that discovers its intensity within lightness.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_masonry_media_grid element_width=”6″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1743283221477-35570de6-b2e1-3″ include=”66687,66688,66689,66690″][vc_separator][vc_column_text]Showtimes<\/b><\/p>\n
