For 50 years, the 200 villagers of Monticchiello, Italy, have conducted an annual exercise in collective self-analysis, self-absorption and self-motivation. Every summer, they have staged a theater performance in which they act out the story of their own lives. The dramas of the Teatro Povero, or Poor Theater, initially revolved around practical issues. But the most recent performance took on a more metaphysical tone, reflecting the struggles of an idyllic but threatened little place. With Italy’s birthrate the lowest in Europe, unemployment among young adults around 35% and new national legislation compelling villages to merge in an effort to save money, this isolated village perched in the hills south of Siena decided this year’s collective performance would explore their future. During the show’s 3-week run, #Monticchiello plays host to 4,000 spectators. A tavern inside a vaulted medieval crypt springs to life, and tourists crowd the streets at sunset, awaiting the show. But the magic fades after the Teatro Povero is over. “When I am here, I sometimes don’t check my phone for an entire day,” one young actor said. “But once the theater is over, it’s just empty.” @alessandro_penso took this behind-the-scenes photo during a performance last month.
