(Finance) – How many times, especially in the last post-pandemic period, have we worried about the decline of art in Italy? People are getting used to it day by day enjoy art in its different forms from home, without making a great effort, by logging into your Netflix account, typing a few sentences on the internet or listening to a song on your headphones. There is nothing wrong, society creates new forms of use of art continuously, but the worry is that we end up forgetting how to share it.
Art is meeting, dialogue, training, emotion, and much of this is only possible by returning to experience it in person. The pandemic has brought public traffic to Italy to an abrupt halt theatres, cinemas or concerts. According to Istat, in fact, in 2022 the use of at least one show or form of entertainment increased entertainment (theatre, concerts, cinema, disco, sports shows), but it is still below pre-pandemic levels. 
To return to the theater or cinema you need to engaging activities and initiatives the territory directly, who lend a hand to that dormant part of society that instead needs to return to enjoying art. An example in this sense is given to us by Palladium Theater of the University of Roma Tre which this year celebrates twenty years since its birth with a very rich theatrical and musical season, in the name of involvement. One of the flagships of the twentieth anniversary of the Palladium Theater and the Roma Tre Teatro Palladium Foundation is the involvement of young people.
THE young people up to 24 years old they are in fact more likely to participate in forms of entertainment outside the home. According to statistics, in 2022 a strong recovery in all leisure activities. The theatre, which remains at very low levels of participation, is an exception. Young people bring with them that regenerative force that the world of theatre, music and cinema needs.
For this reason the Palladium Theater starts again from them, from Audience Revolution the new “theater-forum” which aims precisely at training young people. Between “Divine” by Danio Manfredini on November 5, “The others” by Nicola Borghesi and Riccardo Tabilio on 11 November e “Being human up close” with Stefano Vercelli and Teri Winkel on November 30th, Audience Revolution, under the artistic direction of Alessandra De Luca, wants revolutionize young people’s relationship with theatre. This is not the only project aimed at rethinking the public’s relationship with theater and art in general at the Palladium Theatre.
“Lives in Music” was born from an idea of Luca Aversano and Enrico Carocci, a series of events to discover music through the telling of great lives dedicated to it, discover great personal stories and great cinema through music. This is an opportunity to talk, share, assist to something by feeling part of it. And this is precisely what art needs to start involving the public again. The first appointment will be on November 6 with the story of Mia Martini, starting from the film “I am Mia£. November 13th will be the turn of Steven Spielberg with “West Side Story” and will end with “Musikanten” by Franco Battiato on November 27. Stories of cinema and music to inspire and make everyone joyfully return to enjoying art together.
