Green E.Th.I.Cs is not only a great cultural project involving 18 partners from 12 countries to spread consciousness about climate change through art and theatre, but it’s also a guide to living theatre and cultural events in a different way — a GREEN WAY.
To achieve this goal, each partner must respect a Green Protocol that includes various actions to recycle, reuse, and conserve resources. The most important innovation for reaching a sustainable theatre experience is Teatro a Pedali. It’s an innovative format that allows for zero-impact live performances thanks to a system of bicycles connected to a battery storage system. In addition to being environmentally friendly, Teatro a Pedali is also a fun and interactive experience. The audience is encouraged to pedal before and during the show, generating the electricity needed to power the stage lights and sound system. This makes the audience a part of the show in a way that is not possible in traditional theatres.
Each Green E.Th.I.Cs partner has received bicycles from Mulino ad Arte, the partner who invented this innovative format. The Mulino ad Arte team has traveled to each partner in their countries, presenting performances to demonstrate to the audience how Teatro a Pedali works and why it’s so important to conserve energy, facilitate alternative sources of energy, and more generally, to motivate people to reuse, recycle, and avoid unnecessary waste.
As an important stage in the rehearsal process of our Climate Changer performance, ÖrkényKöz also hosted Teatro a pedal workshop. A big thank you to everyone who joined us! Let’s pedal towards a greener future together!
