Teatro nel Taro
The theatre season of the Adolfo Tanzi Theatre in Felegara
About Teatro nel Taro
A season of theatre in the heart of the Taro Valley
Teatro nel Taro is the theatre review hosted by the Adolfo Tanzi Municipal Theatre in Felegara, a hamlet of the Municipality of Medesano, in the province of Parma, in Emilia-Romagna. Promoted by the municipal administration of Medesano in collaboration with local cultural associations, the season enlivens the winter months with a series of events designed for adult audiences, in an intimate hall of about 140 seats located in Via Guido Picelli, in the center of Felegara.
A review that changes theme every year
What distinguishes Teatro nel Taro is the choice, for each season, of a common thread that links all the performances. For the 2025/2026 season, the theme is "Keyword": a series of meetings and performances that explore the Italian language and the value of words from multiple perspectives, from the historical and etymological to the philosophical and playful. Writers, sociolinguists, actors, and theatre companies take turns on stage, in a constant dialogue between the written word and the stage word.
Where it takes place
All events are held at the Adolfo Tanzi Theatre in Felegara, a municipal structure that has for years been a reference point for the cultural life of Medesano and the middle Taro Valley. The intimate dimension of the hall fosters a direct relationship between artists and spectators, enhancing word-based reviews, storytelling, and civic theatre.
A theatre for the community
In addition to programming for adults, the theatre hosts projects for schools, social theatre workshops, and performances by local companies throughout the year, confirming its role as a cultural hub for the valley municipalities. Teatro nel Taro is a good opportunity to discover Medesano and its surroundings, in an area of the Parma Apennines rich in traditions, typical products, and landscapes.
