WE DID IT!

In the near future in which WE DID IT! is set, the figure on stage accompanies us along the paths he and his contemporaries travelled to overcome some of the crises that today compromise the permanence of life on Earth.

Playing on the interference between real events, viable possibilities and hitherto only conceivable experiences, the show becomes a hypothetical documentary to crumble the TINA (There Is No Alternative) Paradigm by sharing scenarios in which people have developed more harmonious relationships with each other and with other entities living on the planet.

In a future held in check by the present, WE DID IT! traverses the changes in which we are immersed, from climate upheavals to war, offering a narrative of some of the processes that could germinate by evolving the cultural patterns that underlie our current living.

In the future time of WE DID IT! urban territories are more liveable, rural settlements have come back to life, plantations and intensive livestock farms have been re-imagined in favour of more widespread and sustainable cultivation places. Inserting itself into this panorama, the show travels on a fully electric van that, in addition to guaranteeing the company’s movements, can produce the energy needed to run the stage equipment via a system of solar panels. Ateliersi thus renews the ancient tradition of travelling theatre, proposing a scenic experience that transcends the boundaries of linear time and opens up to multiple resonances and imaginative possibilities.

Postcards from the 2025 Tour

They arrive from every place visited on the 2025 tour. Fiorenza takes the photo, Andrea writes the text. Each postcard brings us three image-thoughts that revolve around a view, an encounter, a meteorological feeling.
