About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Theatre has always been about connection—between performers and audiences, between stories and emotions. However, during the Covid pandemic, that essential connection was lost. Live performances became impossible, and traditional recordings failed to capture the energy and immediacy of the theatrical experience. This challenge led us to create Onlife Theatre, an innovative approach that merges liv

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Onlife Theatre is not just about streaming performances—it’s about redefining how audiences experience theatre, breaking down physical barriers, and creating a new hybrid form of storytelling. Theatre Onlife combines theatre, technology and gamification to create interactive educational experiences. Students watch a show streamed on interactive whiteboards or big screens, while actively participating via tablet or PC. A live actor moves through animated scenarios, while quizzes and narrative choices engage them directly, turning the show into a dynamic educational experience.

How has it been spreading?

Teatro Onlife is spreading mainly through partnerships with schools, educational institutions and cultural institutions. Thanks to its digital nature, it is easily accessible throughout Italy, allowing schools to participate without geographical limits. The increasing digitisation of education and interest in immersive methodologies accelerate its adoption, making it an increasingly popular solution for active learning.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

You need to search the web for the Teatro Onlife website. You will find explanations about the platform and a list of performances on the site. Schools can book and participate in the event with the entire class. As of today, there are two performances available.
