Opera retablO
Founded on 8 March 2008 in Sessa (Switzerland) it is a space that hosts and promotes cultural and artistic fusions. The association moves, grows and is inspired by the conviction that the meeting and collaboration between people should be the basis of creative work.
We create works poised between the innovative and the archaic; works that give body to a modern and unsettling catharsis.
We appeal to the humanity that is projected towards the future, a humanity that precludes any kind of classifications and prejudices transcending aesthetic, sexual and intellectual genres.
The association's activities are carried out in Switzerland and abroad.
