Bologna's leading theatrical improvisation company, active since 2007, performing comic and dramatic improv shows while running an improv theatre school and corporate workshop programs.
History
Teatro a Molla has operated in Bologna since 2007, establishing itself as the city's primary improv organisation. The company produces both comic and dramatic improvisation shows, runs a structured improv theatre school, and delivers corporate experiential workshops. The name translates roughly as "spring theatre" (molla meaning spring/coil), suggesting energy and responsiveness.
Artistic Identity
Teatro a Molla performs across comic and dramatic registers, distinguishing it from companies focused solely on comedy. The school alongside the performance arm makes it Bologna's dual-function improv institution.
