FRANCESCO GRAVINO’S “TEATRO EDICOLA” AND FOYER’97 MAKE THEIR TRIUMPHANT ENTRANCE INTO HOLLYWOOD SOURCE: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/luciano-magaldi-s-05a4a71b3_francesco-gravinos-teatro-edicola-and-ugcPost-7454501773873922048-kkh7/ Today marks one of those rare, decisive moments — the kind that transforms a visionary endeavour into an international phenomenon. Artistic Director Francesco Gravino and his distinguished theatre company FOYER’97 TEATRO have officially landed on one of the most widely followed magazines in Hollywood and across California: HOLLYWOOD BEAT MAGAZINE! A rising and highly esteemed voice within the global film and theatre industry. My article, entitled: “Revolutionizing Theatre: Six Seats, One Actor in Italy” explores how Gravino’s radical concept is rewriting the rules of contemporary theatre, bringing Italian intimacy, daring experimentation, and artistic audacity straight into the heart of Hollywood’s cultural imagination. A. A theatre born inside a humble newsstand, now conquering Hollywood. B. One actor, six seats — an experience the world had never witnessed before. C. A project MADE IN SAN SEVERO / PUGLIA / ITALY, now expanding onto the global stage. This is not merely a milestone: it is the beginning of an entirely new trajectory. And today we can proclaim it with pride: FRANCESCO GRAVINO and FOYER’97 are officially entering the international spotlight of the performing arts world. Hollywood, prepare yourself: the TEATRO EDICOLA is on its way!

Francesco Gravino, San Severo–born founder and artistic director of Foyer ’97, engaged in conversation with journalist Daniele Giannesi to illuminate the genesis, the vision, and the quiet audacity underpinning this singular project. It is a rare opportunity to discover how, in San Severo, within a former news kiosk graciously donated by Mr Pino Frau, a diminutive space of only a few square metres has been transformed into a workshop of proximity dramaturgy and urban poetics — a pulsating heart capable of resonating across Italy and beyond through its original and profoundly authentic narrative. A result that fills us with pride and reaffirms how culture born from the grassroots — even from the Province of Foggia, in the Alto Tavoliere at the foothills of the Gargano promontory— when genuine, can indeed transform both the places it inhabits and the people who embrace it.

THE AUDACITY! Noll förtroende för Magdalena och S som körde landet i diket under 8 år och röstfiskar bland islamister i utbyte mot kvinnor och barns rättigheter. Det enda sossarna borde styra upp är sin egna självinsikt. https://t.co/wVqrRUtU7T #politik #Sverige #socialdemokraterna

Excellent work by @UGent. Now that a serious case of academic fraud has finally been exposed, it’s only fair to open an investigation into the only academic who had the audacity to blow the whistle, despite all the legal threats. “Ghent University has decided to take appropriate https://t.co/c0sQNNo9p2 #AcademicIntegrity #Whistleblower #GhentUniversity #BE

Es laikam nekad nespēšu beigt brīnīties par vīriešu audacity. Tēvs nevar pieslēgties bērna dzimšanas dienas organizēšanai, jo “viņam darbs un jāgatavojas hobija pasākumam”. Man rīt būs akūta operācija pilnā narkozē, par darbu vispār klusēšu, bet no manis by default gaida visu🤌 #MūsdienuAttiecības #VīriešuLoma #SievieteSpēks

I don't understand how you @EmmanuelMacron could have the audacity to speak of International Law when you have supported the Israeli Genocide in Palestine..? And now you watch silently as Israel is Ethnically Cleansing South Lebanon. Sadly, Macron stands for nothing but money... #InternationalLaw #Palestine #SouthLebanon #IL #PS #LB

The serious thing is that this individual is the director of a newspaper from the main private audiovisual chain in Spain. It seems to me tremendous this audacity: calling the president of a country like Mexico ignorant. And for defending the ignorant president of the Madrid corralito. (Original: Lo grave es que este individuo es el director de un periódico de la principal cadena audiovisual privada de España. A mí me parece tremenda esta osadía: llamar ignorante a la presidenta de un país como México. Y por defender a la ignorante presidenta del corralito de Madrid.) #MediaAccountability #FreedomOfPress #PublicDiscourse #ES #MX

It requires extreme audacity to, after having insulted Mexico by calling it a narco-state, stand there to continue denigrating them. And without having any role in international politics, to interfere in the stance of the head of state and the Spanish government. (Original: Se precisa una osadía extrema para, tras haber insultado a México llamándolo narcoestado, plantarse allí a seguir denigrándoles. Y sin tener papel alguno en la politica internacional, interferir en la postura del jefe del Estado y del gobierno español. https://t.co/Uff9rdyuHo) #Audacity #InternationalPolitics #Mexico #MX #ES

That Fernando Simón still has the audacity to speak in public, after his role during the pandemic, shows that there are people who do not understand the concept of shame. (Original: Que Fernando Simón tenga todavía el desparpajo de salir a hablar en publico, después de su papelón en la pandemia, demuestra que hay gente que no conoce el concepto de vergüenza.) #Shameless #PandemicResponse #PublicFigures #ES
