L’Etoile du Nord, besides being a cafe, is also an experimental theater that never closes, a free-wheeling space for spectators and performers, and a haunt for actors, intellectuals, free-thinkers and revolutionaries.<br />
<br />
Tunisian actor and theater director, Noureddine El Ati, who founded the theater company in 1997, says the venue is unique in all of North Africa.

  • BOLOGNA, ITALY - 6 JANUARY 2020: A woman walks by the entrance of the theater of the Istituto Antoniano, an institution governed by Franciscan friars as  a community service initiative that temporarily rented its theater to a  police union to host a party organised for the childen of police officers during the holidays in Bologna, Italy, on January 6th 2020. The police union invited Matteo Salvini raising criticism since the Istituto Antoniano was previsouly a migrant center until Mr. Salvini became Interior Minister and changed the application requirements in his anti-migrants security decree, which the institution didn't agree with, therefore choosing not to apply and closing the center.<br />
<br />
Matteo Salvini is campaigning in the region of Emilia Romagna to support the League candidate Lucia Borgonzoni running for governor.<br />
<br />
After being ousted from government in September 2019, Matteo Salvini has made it a priority to campaign in all the Italian regions undergoing regional elections to demonstrate that, in power or not, he still commands considerable support.<br />
<br />
The January 26th regional elections in Emilia Romagna, traditionally the home of the Italian left, has been targeted by Matteo Salvini as a catalyst for bringing down the government. A loss for the center-left Democratic Party (PD) against Mr Salvini’s right would strip the centre-left party of control of its symbolic heartland, and probably trigger a crisis in its coalition with the Five Star Movement.

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 16 MARCH 2018: Teenagers standing on stilts are seen here during the circus activity at "Il Tappeto di Iqbal" (Iqbal's carpet), a non-profit cooperative in Barra, the estern district of Naples, Italy, on March 16th 2018.<br />
<br />
Il Tappeto di Iqbal (Iqbal’s Carpet) is a non-profit cooperative founded in 2015 and Save The Children partner since 2015 that operates in the Naple’s eastern neighborhood of Barra children in the arts of circus, theater and parkour. It was named after Iqbal Masih, a Pakistani boy who escaped from life as a child slave and became an activist against bonded labor in the 1990s.<br />
Barra, which is home to some 45,000 people, has the highest rate of school dropouts in the Italian region of Campania. Once a thriving industrial community, many of the factories were destroyed in a 1980 earthquake and never rebuilt. The resulting de-industrialization turned Barra into a poor, decaying neighborhood. There are no cinemas, theaters, parks or public spaces in Barra.<br />
The vast majority of children from poor families are faced with the choice of working in the black economy or joining the ranks of the organised crime.<br />
Recently, Save the Children Italy opened a number of educational and social spaces in Barra. The centers, known as Punti Luce, or points of light, aim to help local kids stay out of the ranks of the organised crime and have also become hubs for Iqbal's Carpet to work.
