La casa delle storie con Stefano De Luca

MEET at Sonora presents: "From Image to Vision" with Stefano De Luca
The cultural journey promoted by MEET continues at Sonora Music Art & Drink with the third event of the series "From Image to Vision", scheduled for Wednesday, July 22 at 8:30 PM, at Sonora, located at Via Principe Amedeo 1/3, Taranto.
This will be an opportunity to listen, engage, and be inspired in a space open to those who believe that culture can foster relationships, break down prejudices, and generate new perspectives.
MEET was established with the aim of creating a space for encounter, relationship, and dialogue in which art, education, and society can interact, promoting mental health, helping to overcome stigma, and restoring voice and dignity to every dimension of being human through the languages of creativity.
The guest of the evening will be Stefano De Luca, an internationally renowned director and theater teacher, who will take us on a journey through theater, creativity, and vision, sharing his human and professional journey.
This will be an occasion to listen, engage, and be inspired in a space open to those who believe that culture can foster relationships, break down prejudices, and generate new perspectives.
A graduate of the inaugural "Jacques Copeau" course at the School of Theater of the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, directed by Giorgio Strehler, Stefano De Luca collaborated as an assistant director with Strehler on productions such as Marivaux's *The Island of Slaves*, Brecht's *The Exception and the Rule* and *The Good Person of Szechwan*, and De Filippo's *The Great Magic*.
He made his directorial debut at Piccolo Teatro with *Pinocchio, The Tale of a Puppet* and *The Little Prince* by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. His training was enriched through experiences at the Maly Theater in St. Petersburg under the guidance of Lev Dodin, and at prestigious European institutions, including the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he studied under Cicely Berry.
Throughout his career, he has taught acting at the Academy of Film and Theater in Budapest, the Academy of Music and Theater in Stuttgart, the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and at the Schepkin School of the Maly Theater in Moscow.
Some of his most significant productions include Jarry's *Ubu Roi*, performed at the National Theater of Timișoara and the MESS Festival in Belgrade; Pirandello's *Henry IV* at the Radnóti Színház in Budapest, which received the Critics' Award; and Goldoni's *The Innamorati* at the Maly Theater in Moscow.
Since 2008, he has directed the theater company LupusAgnus, dedicated to contemporary dramaturgy. Since 2004, he has also been a curator, alongside Ferruccio Soleri, of the latest edition of *Arlecchino, Servant of Two Masters*, a historic production directed by Giorgio Strehler.
In the meantime, he regularly conducts workshops and courses on public speaking and team building for many companies, including Cartier, Maserati, and Dior.
In 2021, he founded the PTQ – Piccolo Teatro Quotidiano association in Albese with Cassano.
In 2025, the theatrical and cultural project of the Casa delle Storie in Albese with Cassano will be launched in a historic building dating back at least to 1722.
The transformation of the rural building from an old farmhouse to a cultural space and intimate theater was initiated by the director through a crowdfunding campaign accompanied by the inaugural event of the "Little Story Festival."
Today, the space is a true stage of emotions: a suspended area dedicated to storytelling, theater, and music.
