Lecce, 9-10 March 2011, Cantieri Teatrali Koreja

The basic creative and aesthetic postulate of Koreja Theatre and the work of the theatre on the social and training program

In these years Koreja Theatre have realized special projects within the field of the “social theatre” and often worked with young people from the suburbs, with deviant problems. The best project is undoubtedly the one that Koreja has been realizing for four years in Smederevo in Serbia: where a group of young rom people and a group of young actors from the Pathos Company work together (8 young Serbian actors and 11 ethnic Rom non-actors.); the theatre has produced together the show Opera Rom (from John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera) that has recently been perfomed at the Biennal of Young Artists from Europe and The Mediterranean, held in Skopje. This is a co-production by Centar Za Kulturu from Smederevo, Serbia and Cantieri Teatrali Koreja from Lecce.
