TITLE: "Naturae", theatre project with prisoners-actors
The theatre Project "Naturae", performed by Compagnia Della Fortezza, takes place with the active collaboration of some prisoners of the prison of Volterra in Tuscany, Italy.
It is a special project involving special people and which follows the theme of human regeneration.
The photographs were taken in a special location too, the salt pan Locatelli in Volterra.
Art, knowledge and culture allow us to rediscover forgotten, denied and suppressed qualities.
We must start dreaming of a "new man" in a reality made of sensitive people, in a future where the search for love, happiness and above all freedom, can grow.
Because freedom is the most precious good that people can have.
The Compagnia della Fortezza was born as a project of Theatre Workshop, in the Prison House of Volterra in August 1988, edited by Carte Blanche and directed by Armando Punzo. "Naturae" is the latest in a series of projects of the Theatre Company.
AUTHOR: SONIA CORBO (Italy)
I am Italian and I live in the heart of Tuscany. My great passion is photography.
Throughout the years, I have dedicated myself to various photographic genres, exploring different languages and approaches that have allowed me to refine my perspective. This journey has gradually led me to documentary photography, a field that allows for different approaches and expressive choices within a coherent visual language.
My work arises from a personal way of seeing, shaped by compositional choices and post-production that reflect my sensibility. In each image, I try to convey a part of myself and my emotions, hoping they can also be felt by those who view them.
