Theatre and education

Alongside concerts and music production, Rocco Papìa has worked with theatre companies and educational organisations. With Teatroeducativo.it he contributed incidental music, writing and technical staging for performances aimed at children and young people.

Documented projects include «Piccole Scelte per un Grande Futuro», addressing food and organic agriculture; «Fiabe Bio», about respect for nature and sustainability; «Guida Responsabilmente», on road safety; and «OrientAttivamente», devoted to educational choices.

In «Cantando Brecht», Stefano Vercelli’s performance based on Brecht’s early diaries and songs, Papìa plays guitar and sings alongside Lisa Severo; the music is by Giulio Severo and Papìa. His work also includes collaboration with Teatrodimpresa, beginning in 2001, as an onstage musician and facilitator for performances, meetings and workshops in Italy and abroad.
