Ponte Radio is an international theatre and music company which created and staged a number of productions from 2005 to 2017. Its productions were showcased at a number of festivals across Europe and the Middle East.
Ponte Radio has focused its artistic research on the movement of bodies on stage, the design of stage sets based on the use of color and light, the relationship between child and movement, and that between actor and dramaturgy.
In 2009 the theatre play Black hell - Nero Inferno written and directed by Alessandro Taddei was awarded critic's special mention for best show at the Venice Biennale Theatre Festival.

Who we are
The Ponte Radio project was created by Alessandro Taddei and Enrico Caravita in 2005, and has since been recognized at local, national and international level.
Ponte Radio was initially conceived as a theatre company. Over the years it has developed into an anthropological and artistic project. It has worked with a variety of artistic professionals, including musicians, actors, photographers, writers, journalists and architects. All of them were able to forge connections with contemporary society, by understanding its nuances and mobilizing towards a common goal.
Ponte Radio's artistic projects develop from local to global. The use of different art forms allow greater synergies among people. Here, anthropological research and art are developed in parallel as theatre and music themselves are conceived as tools to open up to the world.
As per its design, Ponte Radio officially terminated in 2017 with the Immaginarium project and the Blu concert. Its work is publicly available and shareable in compliance with copyright and all other intellectual property rights.
Ponte Radio's 12 - year artistic, linguistic, theatrical and musical journey has led to the international project BABEL, owned by Time Handlers Company.
