Notes
The Casa del Musical theater school and Savatteri Produzioni have created a real cultural movement over the years, allowing many artists to find work in the arts in Sicily, attracting professionals from other Italian cities: actors, technicians, and cultural operators. Savatteri’s works continue to be performed outside Sicily, both in Italy and abroad, embracing various performing arts and theatrical genres, ranging from prose to musicals, from frontal performances to experiential, immersive, Site-Specific, and experimental performances.
Among these, the work Al passo coi Templi – Il Risveglio degli Dei (In Step with the Temples – The Awakening of the Gods), performed every year at dawn in the Valley of the Temples, attracts thousands of visitors to each performance, becoming a constant cultural attraction in Agrigento.
