An interactive theatrical performance to counter LGBTQIA+ discrimination through an interdisciplinary approach.

OnStage is an interactive performance, a game-performance of Social and Community Theatre that addresses the theme of discrimination based on sexual orientation through an interactive and multidisciplinary approach to stimulate critical thinking and counter LGBTQIA+ discrimination.

The stage features 25 squares inspired by the traditional Game of the Goose format, 2 performers, and 3 musicians who invite the audience—divided into two teams—to roll the dice and advance on the giant squares. Each square “activates” content: historical facts, quizzes, scenes from daily life, monologues drawn from true stories, and special “Pride” squares, which bring small groups of activists and people sensitive to the issue of LGBTQIA+ discrimination onto the stage. Each square awards “salve in zucca” (points for “common sense”)—a score that allows, at the end of the performance, for an evaluation of which team has most increased its knowledge and competence on a complex, debated, and often controversial topic of contemporary society. The show is intended for Upper Secondary Schools, Third Sector Organizations, Cultural Bodies, Public and Private Institutions, and Companies.

The performance can be accompanied by a final debate or preceded by theatrical workshops, to be agreed upon based on training needs.

The performance is a Social Community Theatre Centre (SCT Centre) – Teatro Popolare Europeo – Dispari Teatro production, in collaboration with UniTo Departments of Psychology, Humanities, Law, Historical Studies, Cultures Politics and Society, and Computer Science, Cirsde, General Directorate, and CUG – Single Guarantee Committee. It premiered on November 16, 2022, in the Aula Magna of the Rectorate of the University of Turin.
