How to reconfigure prisons through culture and beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPer aspera ad astra \u2013 How to reconfigure prisons through culture and beauty\u201d is a project led by ACRI<\/strong><\/a>, launched in 2018, as an experimental intervention aimed at encouraging the networking of theatre experiences in prison<\/strong> throughout Italy and strengthening active projects (or promoting the activation of new ones) within penitentiary institutions for the professional training of prisoners in the field of theatre and the performing arts and crafts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project proposal, which emerged as part of the work of the ACRI Commission for Cultural Activities and Heritage, is based on the model of the Compagnia della Fortezza<\/strong>, which has been operating for over 30 years in Volterra Prison<\/strong> with an intensive theatrical activity for prisoners, focusing on the intrinsic value of the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Per aspera ad astra reached its eighth edition, with the support of 12 banking foundation members of ACRI<\/strong> and the involvement of 16 penitentiary institutions<\/strong> and the same number of cultural practitioners. They have created a national network of theatre companies active in prisons, share their intervention methodology while respecting the specificities of each institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
