With theater we fight the stigma of mental distress. Our laboratory is a lighthouse against indifference towards a topic too often left in the shadows by the media, politics and economics.
Let's fight to keep open the few places that feel and welcome this emergency. We need your support because we are convinced that restoring well-being to a single person improves the health of the entire community.
We are there Strambo Teatro Company. Some of us are tall, some short, others still young, elderly, stubborn, energetic, calm, greedy, sporty, lovers of the sea, the mountains, art.
Some of us, Then, suffer from psychological distress.
Our home is there Di Liegro Foundation. For more than twenty years he has been giving voice to the invisible. Without ever giving up, he carries out activities, projects, research: all to create that support network for people with mental health problems and their families, so that they are no longer excluded.
Our theater laboratory is one of these. Here we have become a company. Here our differences have become glue, here we have freed ourselves from labels.
Here we are together. Here we are actors.
Every week we meet at the Foundation to sweat, smile, act, create. Together we build the show that we stage at the end of the year, together we get excited, together we are stronger. Theater is good for us and we can no longer do without it. It's our home.
Theater changed our lives. For the better. It was an antidote to isolation, a multiplier of self-esteem, a tool to combat social exclusion caused by the stigma of mental distress. Was a immense and precious facilitator of personal and relational growth.
Here, beyond ours, there are every day art therapy workshops and socialization. There mental health it is their battle and the fight against marginalization is so powerful that they can breathe it. Here, we are a family. And we recognize each other.
This year our theater workshop is unable to start. The Foundation cannot support all the necessary expenses and we cannot help it with our own strength alone.
With your support we will be able to reopen our doors, furnish the rooms with a beautiful scenography, continue working with our director Roberto and go on the stage of a "real" theater at the end of the year!
Even a small donation can help us reach the goal. If you can't donate, maybe you can share the campaign and help spread the message.
