“I Figli di Estia” is the theatre company of the PrisonArt Cultural Association, founded inside the Bollate Prison by a group of inmates who had previously worked with Michelina Capato and her Estia Cooperative.

Starting from physical work, relationships and dialogues are developed that are put into action beyond words: the training starts from the body which becomes the pretext to discover a different self that relates to the other. The first performance “And you, what job are you?” was born starting from body techniques to then arrive at original texts written by the same inmates who attend the theatre workshop.

Christian Flore, founder of the Prison Art Cultural Association, trained with Michelina Capato and is now the artistic director of the Theatre Company “I Figli di Estia”.
