Participatory culture at Basaglia Park in Gorizia
Basaglia Park 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 Fierascena APS theatre company, dedicated to live performances, talks, training, and experiences in various artistic disciplines.
Piccolo Cielo's activities are organized around 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 Oniric, Future, Sustainable, and Authorial atmospheres, the journey concludes with Atmosphere Under Construction, dedicated to community building and care as an artistic and social practice.
The central event of Atmosphere Under Construction is Brick Park, a collective workshop where participants, brick by brick, build a scale model of Basaglia Park in LEGO. A symbolic and concrete gesture, guided by technical experts, that transforms the audience into protagonists and tells the story and future of this special place.
Consistent with Basaglia's legacy, the Atmosphere 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, in line with Fierascena APS's mission to use art as a tool for care.
Atmosphere Under Construction concludes Piccolo Cielo's "Atmospheres" 2026 cycle from June 3rd to 11th, in Gorizia's Basaglia Park. The heart of the program is Brick Park, the community workshop where participants together create a scale model of the park using LEGO bricks. Completing the program is a public meeting dedicated to the topic of mental health, continuing the site's history.
Detailed program with times and participation methods will be published on the website piccolocielo.it.
