Participatory culture at Parco Basaglia in Gorizia
Parco Basaglia in Gorizia, the former psychiatric hospital complex linked to Franco Basaglia's revolution, is today a place seeking new forms of cultural and social life. Here, in the former church of the Stigmata, Piccolo Cielo has opened, an inclusive cultural space founded by the theatre company Fierascena APS, dedicated to live performances, talks, training, and experiences in various artistic disciplines.
Piccolo Cielo's activities are organised around Atmosfere (Atmospheres): thematic cycles that, from April to June 2026, create shared spaces for dialogue and reflection through theatre, cinema, music, literature, and art. After the Onirica, Futura, Sostenibile, and d'Autore atmospheres, the journey concludes with Atmosfera Under Construction, dedicated to community building and care as an artistic and social practice.
The central moment of Atmosfera Under Construction is Brick Park, a collective workshop where participants build, brick by brick, a scale model of Parco Basaglia in LEGO. A symbolic and concrete gesture, guided by technical figures, which transforms the public into protagonists and tells the story and future of this special place.
Consistent with Basaglia's legacy, the Atmosfera also includes a public meeting on mental health, an opportunity to reflect with the citizens on a topic that has deep roots in Gorizia. An initiative that intertwines culture, participation, and civic engagement, following Fierascena APS's mission to use art as a tool for care.
The Atmosfera Under Construction concludes Piccolo Cielo's "Atmosfere" 2026 cycle from June 3rd to 11th, in Gorizia's Parco Basaglia. The heart of the program is Brick Park, the community workshop where participants collaboratively create a scale model of the park using LEGO bricks. Completing the program is a public meeting dedicated to mental health, continuing the site's history.
Detailed program with times and participation methods will be published on the website piccolocielo.it.
