Text from the official Instagram profile of Teatro Jolie Rouge (teatrojolierouge), post presenting the fifth season: poster and caption, source

The source text, «The Zoo Story» (Storia dello zoo), is a one-act play by American playwright Edward Albee, written in 1958 and first performed in 1959 at the Schiller Theater in West Berlin. It has only two characters, Peter and Jerry, who meet on a bench in Central Park in New York. The poster presents the show as a reworking, without naming director or performers. In the caption the company is mentioned through the account rollershutters.prod.

Where it takes place: Teatro Jolie Rouge

The hall on Via delle Begonie was born on the initiative of the Compagnia Jolie Rouge, active since early 2020, which besides shows organizes exhibitions, concerts and theater courses for children, teens and adults. Since 2020 the company has also taken over the rights of the Artimanti, a group from the acting school named after Antonin Artaud. Today the Jolie Rouge is an ARCI club that pairs the stage with a wine bar. A guide to the neighborhood is on the page Centocelle, what to see.
