Treat scenographic practice as a research laboratory for transforming inherited theatre forms - especially Italian-style venues - by testing new scene-spectator configurations in each production.
Design or retrofit theatres as socially open, technically maintainable places that integrate pre- and post-show experience and urban life, while matching polyvalent machinery to realistic operating capacity.
Continue weakening the fourth wall and seeking permanent spectator involvement and complicity as a core criterion of future scenographic design.
