WHO ARE WE? Teatro Ebasko is a theater group founded in 2015. The company's name is derived from the ancient Greek "ἡβάσκω": a verb with an etymological root in the name of the goddess Hebe, meaning "to take strength, to become young." The group interprets this verb conceptually as continuous renewal, also evident in the motion of waves represented in the company's logo. By experimenting with different artistic languages, Teatro Ebasko explores the functionality of the body and voice on stage. An integral part of this experimentation is the work of street theater, which takes in ancient myths and stories, transforming them into urban dramaturgies. Since its early years, Teatro Ebasko has designed and conducted workshops and laboratories for people of all ages and genders, specializing especially in the student group. The company's repertoire includes 3 indoor shows (Mèlisse, Fragalà and Animal Farm), 1 outdoor show (Circe with 2023 tour supported by the City of Bologna) and 2 currently in production (Cosmos and Black Plains). Since 2020, Teatro Ebasko has been organizing the RaMe - RAdici del MEditerraneo | International Festival of Theater and Performing Arts and has developed the YIAS | Young International Art Symposium project, an informal group reflecting on contemporary art issues. Over the years, the company has managed art festivals, cultural and social inclusion projects, achieving success in public and private calls and national and international festival calls. Since 2022, Teatro Ebasko has been part of the Network RisoNanze, a network that involves festivals and companies from all over Italy in a national co-design network as well as being a member of the Italian Federation of Artists (Fed.It.Art.)
