Teatro dell’Albero was founded in 1999 in Milan (Italy) by Mario Barzaghi and Rosalba Genovese. The work of the company focuses on the development of the actor’s craft by confronting Eastern and Western traditions through the pedagogical and artistic study of stage techniques from different theatre traditions. The result of this research is the work demonstration/performance An Athlete of the Heart: An actor between East and West and Divine fragments of the journey to Inferno.
Teatro dell’Albero collaborates with many theatres around the world, including Attori e Cantori, Faber Teater, Teatro Persona, Teatro due Mondi, Teatro dei Venti, Teatro Rebis, Trickster Teatro, Limen Teatro, Teatro B. Brecht, Limosa, Teatro La Madrugada, Teatro dell’Acquario, Jacques Gardel, Arsenic, Theatre L, Studio d’Action Théâtrale, Ecum (Belo Horizonte), Teatro Taller de Colombia, le Galpon, Orchestra del Conservatorio di Ginevra, and with artists such as Gabriel Alvarez, Robert Clerc, Tage Larsen and Else Marie Laukvik. Its collaborators also include theatre scholars including Nando Taviani and Mirella Schino (Università de L’Aquila), Piergiorgio Giacché (Università di Perugia), Franco Ruffini (Università degli Studi Roma Tre), Marcello Gallucci (Accademia di Belle Arti de L’Aquila).
Recently, Teatro dell’Albero has collaborated on the montage of Oriente (Teatro Due Mondi) and Se ci fosse luce e il Draago (Teatro dei Venti). Its latest co-productions, directed by Mario Barzaghi, are: Limen Teatro’s Geometria del Caos, Diaphanès Teatro’s …viene il mattino azzurro and Hernàn Gené’s La Biblioteca di Scardanelli. Mario Barzaghi has been repeatedly invited to teach and perform at the open sessions of Regula contra Regulam, a research project led by Raúl Iaiza and organized in collaboration with the Grotowski Institute.
