Ilaria Tucci

Ilaria Tucci (Italy, 1980) is a professional actress graduated at the Italian National Drama Academy “Silvio D’Amico” (BA, 2002) and graduated with honors from the University of Pisa in the Sciences for Peace (MA, 2013), with a thesis which combines Applied Theatre, Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding Processes. In fact, since 2006, Ilaria has been studying and experimenting the applications of theatre as a tool of dialogue among people, participation, peacebuilding and empowerment. 

On behalf of d’altrocanto – a theatre company that she founded and directed during the time it functioned (2003-2012) – Ilaria invented and produced many theatre projects, combining the citizenship participation with arts, and promoting the idea that theatre could be a powerful means of change and individual/collective awareness.

During last years – thanks to the fruitful and inspiring collaboration with Chiara Murru (Alguer, Sardinia) she started to include in her artistic research also the role of the bodies in the Urban Landscape.
