The O Thiasos TeatroNatura was born in 1992 as a theatrical project to investigate the relationshipbetween dramatic art, ecological awareness and environment. Such a perspective asks to reconsider the art of the actor and its presence in a scenic space, dramaturgy, directing, scenography andmusical composition: to be questioned is the idea itself of ‘theatre’. O Thiasos TeatroNatura wasawarded in 2000 by Europarc as “the best European project of interpreting environment”. This shortessay leads to the core of a research, which is usually unaccessible to the audiences. Sista Bramini,director and founder of O Thiasos, describes such research in words, as far as this is possible, tryingto convey the rigour and methodicalness that it requires, but also the insight that it is able to arouse inperformers and spectators. Walking, as a way of re-descovering an original scenic space, meansuncoiling of time and space, where to unfold human presence, made of body and memory, in front of other creatures, thus starting to live in a new world .
