Assicurarsi ai Sedili

Theatre as Active Citizenship

Assicurarsi ai Sedili is the distributed festival of amateur and professional theatre that every spring transforms Rho, a municipality in the Province of Milan, and the towns of the hinterland into a large, widespread stage. The event promotes grassroots theatre as a form of active citizenship, valuing participation and a sense of community.

Dozens of Shows, Hundreds of Actors

The festival features dozens of shows with the participation of nearly a thousand actors: amateur companies, school groups, theatre schools, associations, disability centers, and inclusion projects. A variety that makes Assicurarsi ai Sedili one of the largest participatory theatre experiences in the Milanese area.

A Widespread Stage

The shows take place in numerous venues: the Teatro Civico Roberto de Silva, Villa Burba, the MAST, as well as spaces in neighboring municipalities such as Arese, Cornaredo, Lainate, Nerviano, and Pregnana Milanese. The festival thus involves an entire area, strengthening the cultural and theatrical vocation of the Rhodense territory.

A Network of Realities

Organized by Teatro dell'Armadillo together with the Municipality of Rho and other cultural entities, the event is the result of a network of associations and administrations that share the conviction that theatre is a tool for collective growth. An event that, edition after edition, consolidates the cultural identity of Rho and its neighboring municipalities.
