The theater company was born on October 5, 2024, at the end of what was supposed to be a simple meeting between former students of‘Institute for Blind Tommaso Ardizzone Gioeni of Catania during which various performances were planned by some former students. Giuseppe Arena, director and actor of the various theatrical performances organized later, thought of performing in a short comedy in Sicilian language: in a few days together with the other former Sicilian students Biagio Milazzo of Barcelona Pg, Orazio Gianguzzo di Catania, Giusy Militello di Regalbuto (EN), and Giuseppe Lentini of Leonforte (EN)prepared “the gruff” Sicilian dialectal comedy written by Francesco Chianese.

To facilitate the “tests” was the use of new technologies that allow remote meetings. The success of that first experience led the newbies to cultivate the art of acting constantly preparing for other comedies. The actors mentioned previously were added: Agrippina Cuddè of Catania, Raffaele Carbone Claudio Baluce and Graziella Sciacca of Messina. The Messina Blind inclusive association married the project of the theater company by organizing and promoting its events.
