about us

Ecateatro APS was founded in early 2020 and became a legally established association in autumn 2021.

​

The association was created by two young artists, Marzia Pellegrini and Riccardo Trovato, and is made up of professional actors who graduated from the Teatro Arsenale School in Milan, founded in 1978 by Marina Spreafico and Kuniaki Ida, direct students of Jacques Lecoq.

The company draws inspiration from Lecoq’s principles, values, style and artistic vision. One of the most influential figures in contemporary theatre, Lecoq is renowned for his work on physical theatre and for reviving the use of masks, the Greek chorus and the traditions of Commedia dell’Arte.
