Also in the festival there will be numerous occasions of meeting between artists and impactful recognisability and new projects and new theatrical creativity.
Asti Teatro, over the past few years has set up his popular festivals retrieving and inventing many evocative of historic spaces, in a path, of great charm between courtyards, squares, Deconsecrated churches, and other unconventional venues.

To point out some extraordinary events, as the first domestic absolute the spectacle of music and words dedicated to Enzo Jannacci with 40 elements of the Toscanini orchestra to accompany the great Moni Ovadia, that, from civil all-round artist will be present at the end of Asti Teatro even in his heard and touched tribute to Don Gallo.

This year the "focus" of Asti Teatro are dedicated to Danny Rose, a large group of actors engaged in theatre and cinema, on the initiative of artists such as Pierfrancesco Favino, Paolo Sassanelli and Fabrizia Sacchi, is carrying out a very interesting project of self-management, rare, If not unique, in our country, to the Sandbags, probably the most unpredictable company of our theatrical landscape, that, After being "discovered" in the distant Festival in Sant'Arcangelo by Leo De Berardinis, continue to impress with the quality and the originality of their shows, with an extraordinary irony and vitality mix the sacred and the profane; the third creative residency will be edited by one of the schools most successful series and theatrical, that of Teatro Stabile di Genova whose students and teachers will, with an articulated programme of shows and suggestions, guidelines and potential.

By the promises of our new theatre, the bets of the Grey Pound, that is the warning that society and culture are devoting to the generation of so-called third age. The cinema has produced extraordinary examples as recently, among others, the Nebraska and Quartet of Dustin Hoffmann, Now we try the theatre with the first professional Italian company to introduce AstiTeatro The sunset over the Plains, with its 16 actors over 65, for a show that has had an unexpected success in recent reruns milanesi.

Even less formal will be "back" by Daniele Eardrum with the show and the parade Zombitudine among the places of the old town, the usual appointment with Burattinarte to the delight of children and adults, the fifth edition of the popular and original natural Theatre Review Weeds of the cityà, curated by the tireless passion to Lorenza Zambon This year's transfers project in the evocative frame of Plazza Gazzelli and "dinner theater" Beppe Rosso inspired by the masterpiece of Visniec Beware of old ladies cankered with loneliness, in which the public will be placed into proper tables. Important the appointment with a great friend of Asti Teatro, Luciano Nattino with the debut of his new show A gift from overtime.

And still: back to Asti actress from "impossible spaces"Harold Innocent with a homage to Greta Garbo set in a clothing store, with her in the festival other actresses from unconventional choices, such as Carola Stagnaro in a unique path through the "Dark Lady" of the theatre, Valentina Sperlì in the original text on the relationship with the disease written by Carlo D'amicis, Arianna Scommegna in a text by Gabriele Vacis and Paola Corti absolute debut with King of plagiarism, a text never represented in Italy by Jan Fabre, directed by Valeriano Yellows.
