Inside English or… Nothing!

Not a complete gallery, but a selection of images that show the project coming to life: stage, music, theatre, students, audience and shared work.

A story told backwards

From 2018 towards the beginning.

Each edition has its own identity. Here we keep only a few images, selected because each one tells something.

18 May 2018

One night only.

Teatro Astra, San Giovanni Lupatoto. A whole year of work concentrated into a single performance.

Over 100protagonists

472theatre seats

1one night only

On stage

Music, theatre and images sharing the same stage.

By 2018 the project’s theatrical scale was fully visible: choir, musicians, actors, presentations and projections all shared the same performance.

27 May 2017

Life is a Miracle.

Teatro S. Teresa, Verona. A more intimate edition, where music and theatre remain strongly centred on people and their stories.

100protagonists

290theatre seats

1one night only

People and stage

A crowded stage where faces still remain visible.

The 2017 photographs alternate choral moments, music, theatre and audience: more intimate than 2018, but already fully mature.

A selection, not a complete album

28 May 2016

Talents are Meant to be Shared.

Teatro S. Teresa, Verona. A particularly hybrid edition: game, theatre, music, audience involvement and even an acoustic moment unlike the other years.

89protagonists

290theatre seats

1one night only

A unique variation

A moment for just two acoustic guitars.

Among the distinctive moments of 2016 was Paolo and Joshua’s acoustic duet: an intimate interlude inside an otherwise choral and highly dynamic show.

What Has School Got To Do With My Life?

Teatro S. Teresa, Verona. Books, authors, music and very concrete questions: what does school really have to do with the way we live?

76protagonists

290theatre seats

1one night only

Stories, authors, questions

School meets what happens outside school.

The photographs reveal a strongly narrative edition: presentations, projections, music and spoken moments constantly alternate, with the students always at the centre.

You Can Make The Difference.

Teatro S. Teresa, Verona. Five young people and five stories become the starting point for talking about choices, responsibility and change.

65protagonists

Talk show and stories

Stories become stage material.

2014 has a clear visual identity: presenters, spoken moments, projections and music shape a show that also feels like a live talk show.

On stage and during rehearsals

31 May 2013

We Are What We Choose To Be.

Teatro S. Teresa, Verona. The first edition: the moment when the earlier lesson-shows finally find a name, a theme and a format that will continue to grow.

61protagonists

The origins

The format is born in front of an audience.

A large screen, choir, musicians, students and eight choices to explore: the 2013 images already contain almost everything that will accompany English or… Nothing! in the years that follow.

The first edition, documented live

Video · a small selection

Four fragments from the stage.

Amateur footage filmed by friends and parents: not a complete archive, but four moments chosen because they tell part of the story of English or… Nothing!
