In the land of Carmelo Bene a great Italian artist, actor and performer, the theater can only be "immaterial", it appears from the sea and disappears into the sea... and it could not be otherwise in a region, Puglia, which has almost a thousand kilometers of coastline with ports everywhere. Thus, a floating structure capable of changing shape and size will become the symbol of the creativity of an entire region. The identifying feature of the project is its modularity, both as regards the emerging structure and the floating one, allowing rapid assembly and the possible replacement or recycling of the parts. The material used is steel, the only 100% recyclable material. The floating island is made up of parts that can be assembled together in different configurations to allow the setting up of the most diverse events, from theater to dance to concerts. There are docks that allow access to the mainland on special occasions, the support units will contain the technological support needed from time to time. It is a nomadic architecture and as such moves where needed, without consuming territory, a new ecology of space.
