Witches Return to Rome’s Torlonia Theatre in New Production Starting Oct. 29

Rome’s historic Torlonia Theatre will host a new theatrical production titled “Witch Is” beginning on Oct. 29, presented by the Landi, Mignemi, Paris Company.

The show, described in promotional material as a revival of witch-themed performance art, marks the company’s latest venture in Italy after touring several European venues.

According to the theatre’s announcement, the production will run for several weeks, featuring a mix of drama, music, and visual effects designed to explore folklore surrounding witches.

Production Details

The Landi, Mignemi, Paris Company, a collaborative ensemble of directors and performers, will stage the play with a cast of Italian and French actors. The creative team aims to blend traditional narratives with contemporary staging techniques.

Tickets are available through the Torlonia box office and online platforms, with pricing tiers ranging from standard seating to premium balcony views.

Background

The Torlonia Theatre, located in central Rome, is known for hosting experimental and classical works. This is the first witch-themed production the venue has presented in recent years.

Previous collaborations between the theatre and the Landi, Mignemi, Paris Company include “Shadows of the Past” in 2022, which received mixed reviews for its avant‑garde approach.

Organisers expect the show to attract both local audiences and tourists interested in cultural events during the autumn season.

Why it matters: The staging introduces a niche theatrical genre to Rome’s mainstream cultural calendar, offering residents and visitors a fresh artistic experience while highlighting cross‑border collaboration between Italian and French performers.
