Tempi Moderni

Summer
Events

A summer theatre season on a singular stage to rediscover the pleasure of being in company, the sociability of yesteryear, in the courtyards of the territory and to attend, at the same time, original performances of contemporary theatre, music and dance created especially for the occasion by great Italian and international artists for what is to all intents and purposes a workshop to further research in the direction of a popular art theatre.

This is Modern Times, the revised comedy created in 2020 by Aldes Spam!

This year's appointment is from 22 to 31 July 2025 in collaboration with the Municipality of Capannori, for a total of 18 appointments in 12 courts of the Plain of Lucca.

Every evening at 9.00 p.m. for the two weeks of the festival (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 22,23,24, 29,30 and 31 July) three theatrical performances will be staged especially for the event, for which artistic director Roberto Castello has involved top-level realities.

Tempi Moderni is a sort of modernised Thespis' Chariot: not pre-existing shows conceived for the theatre, but small productions created ad hoc so as to offer an audience largely unaccustomed to theatre works that can capture the attention and entertain everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, regardless of their level of education.
