It is a particular type of show which with 'naked' creativity, without supporting texts and often without costumes or scenography, involves spectators the very moment it reveals itself on the stage. But contrary to what one might think, improvisation is not the spontaneous and unmediated fruit of an instinct or a request, but is the result of preparation, of a real discipline that the Association teaches in Milan since 1999. A commitment that has led it to become the most international improvisation reality in Italy and a unique theater school in the panorama of Milanese schools, making the cultural offering of our city even richer.

They perform an increasingly useful service to citizens, in ways that could be compatible with the environment and sustainable mobility.

Even before being the editorial staff of a newspaper, it is in fact a cultural association and is aware of the fundamental role that knowledge plays in the growth of a community, in the construction of its identity and its sense of belonging, for the exercise of a healthy and vital democracy. An important role for which Milan is grateful.
