Performing Arts Night 2026
An evening entirely devoted to performing arts at Bocconi!
A journey through the performing arts as a shared community experience, where every voice, every body, every image is a thread that binds us together.
Student participating in theater, singing, dance and filmmaking courses organized by Campus Life, together with students from the Association Gruppo Teatro Studenti Bocconi, will perform in an evening celebrating the performing arts on campus.
This will be followed by the musical "Tonight We Gotta Footloose!" by BLPSA.
The evening is organized by Campus Life in collaboration with Teatro Franco Parenti and coordinated by Prof. Alex Turrini, Arts & Humanities Committee with responsibility for performing arts.
The Bocconi University community reveals itself through art as a living network of connections, passions, and presences.
Program
Performing Arts Showcase
The evening celebrates the journey of the workshops and student initiatives promoted by Campus Life: through distributed stages, video installations, and performance spaces, featuring theater, singing, and dance.
At the beginning and at the end of the evening, the Gruppo Teatro Studenti Bocconi - directed by Marco Brambini - will present readings from the works of Stefano Benni.
Each performance thus becomes a thread cast into the shared space of the community, capable of connecting stage and audience, performers and spectators, students and the public, making visible through art the network of bonds that already unites us.
The workshops were led by:
- Theater: Tobia Rossi in collaboration with Claudia Grassi, artistic collaborator.
- Choral singing: Aleksander Zielinski
- Dance: Marco Pelle in collaboration with Gaia Maria Lorusso, artistic collaborator.
- Filmmaking: Tommaso Santambrogio, in collaboration with Astrid Ardenti, artistic collaborator.
Free event, registration required.
