Giulia Sangiorgio

I studied Literature (degree mark 110/110 cum laude), Performing Arts and Multimedia Production (d. m. 110/110 cum laude) and Direction at Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi (d. m. 110/110 cum laude). I worked for “Diaghilev”, a theatre production center and an artistic residence in Puglia as a director, assistant director, actress, production manager from 2014 to 2018. In 2019 I worked as assistant director in Teatro alla Scala for Gilbert Deflo’s “Rigoletto”. In 2022 I worked as a director for the Olivetti exhibition at the ADI museum in Milan and in the same year I directed and wrote, with the playwright Matilde Marras, a children’s musical opera, inspired by the life of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, that was staged at the Verdi Auditorium in Milan. At the moment I’m working as an assistant director for Piccolo Teatro in Milan and as a director for Salani Editore, in a project inspired by Jean Giono’s “The Man Who Planted Trees”, which reflects on the concepts of community, happiness and pacifism. I am in the process of founding my own company with a playwright, Eliana Rotella, and an organizer, Chiara Donadoni, with which I share a political, artistic and ethical views. With this company I’m directing two contemporary plays: one is “CORPORA” which deals with the theme of the difficulty of mourning in a society that has lost its rituals, the other one is about Hedy Lamarr, who made the invention of the century but wasn’t taken seriously because she was a woman, an artist and a foreigner. I’m the creator and project manager, with the team of Theatron 2.0, of “Omissis – Osservatorio Drammaturgico”, a free digital platform aimed at enhancing contemporary dramaturgy in Italy and networking between directors and playwrights (the platform has just been launched: https://webzine.theatronduepuntozero.it/omissis-osservatorio-drammaturgico/).
