Ligurian dialect on stage

The show, recognized among the Authentic Events of Liguria, is an act of love for the language and culture of the area.
Comedy and popular culture
Dialect comedy is a theatrical form deeply rooted in Ligurian villages: through comedy, everyday stories, and traditional characters, it tells the life, characters, and humour of the community. The Teatro Instabile di Padivarma company, made up of local actors, keeps this tradition alive, offering evenings of genuine entertainment.
