Elisabetta Turroni Theatre Review
The theatre review for young students from the schools of Sogliano al Rubicone
About Elisabetta Turroni Review
The theatre for the little ones in Sogliano al Rubicone
The Elisabetta Turroni Theatre Review is one of the most anticipated events of spring in Sogliano al Rubicone, a village in the hinterland of the province of Forlì-Cesena, in the heart of the Rubicone Valley in Emilia-Romagna. Every year, in May, the Teatro Comunale Elisabetta Turroni opens its doors to children and young people from the territory's primary and nursery schools, who take to the stage to present the shows prepared during the school year to the public.
A review dedicated to the memory of Elisabetta Turroni
The event, as well as the theatre that hosts it, is named in memory of Elisabetta Turroni, originally from Sogliano: the Municipality dedicated the theatre structure to her memory, and since then, the review has borne her name. The initiative is funded by the Municipality of Sogliano al Rubicone and organized in collaboration with the Comprehensive Institute of Sogliano, in a project involving students from several school campuses in the area, including the schools of Sogliano, Borghi, and Roncofreddo.
Children and young people as protagonists
For a few days, the young students become real actors: fairy tales, stories, narratives, and theatrical adaptations are born from the work done in class with the teachers. In recent years, original titles such as Odissea Romagnola, Il pescatore di parole, Una tazza di tè per te e per tutti, and Il viaggio di Simone have been staged, testifying to a journey that intertwines education, imagination, and the roots of the Romagna territory.
Theatre thus becomes a magical game in which actors and spectators share emotions and the desire to dream, and it transforms into an important educational and community tool for the new generations.
An event for the whole community
The performances usually take place in two sessions: morning shows, dedicated to school groups, and evening repeats open to families and the entire citizenry. Admission is free, and every evening the theatre opens its doors to the public, in a festive atmosphere that unites parents, grandparents, teachers, and residents of the valley's various Municipalities around the work of the little ones.
