Florence’s stages range from established theatres to smaller neighbourhood venues, with drama, comedy, dance and performance across the city.
The programme spans central theatres such as Teatro della Pergola and Teatro Puccini, as well as venues in Rifredi and the southern districts. Alongside scripted plays, expect stand-up, performance workshops and work inspired by literature.
Its starting point is a memory of Kurosawa’s film-dreams.
