In a quaint hilltop village in Tuscany, the locals devised an extraordinary method to tackle their challenges: they transformed their lives into a theatrical production. Each summer, the town square became their stage, and people of all ages took on the role of themselves. This annual tradition in Monticchiello has garnered international attention and has been the glue holding the community together for half a century. However, with an aging population and younger generations more captivated by social media than agriculture, the town’s 50th-anniversary performance might be its final curtain call. “SPETTACOLO” narrates the tale of Teatro Povero di Monticchiello, blending scenes from its history with its current efforts as the villagers craft a new play about the potential end of their world, inspired by a series of devastating events.
