Ascanio Celestini in Poor Christians – Suq Festival 2026

One of the most original voices in Italian theater arrives in Genoa with the show "Poveri Cristi". Ascanio Celestini tells the stories of men and women on the margins of society: an illiterate warehouse worker, a prostitute, a migrant, an old life teacher. Each performance is unique, because Celestini chooses which lives to tell each time, transforming the "ugly" people from newspapers into saints when a miracle happens.
