ABOUT US
Margine Operativo (Operating Margin) is a multidisciplinary artistic project.
It is active in the spheres of theatre, performance arts and video.
Since its early stages, Margine Operativo took on a multiform nature that pushed it to engage with various dimensions of artistic and cultural production:
– conceptual development and organisation of festivals and multidisciplinary events;
– creation and production of theatre shows and performative actions;
– artistic research on video language, from film-making (documentary and fiction) to live- sets;
– organisation of courses/workshops and training provision in theatre and video-making.
It is in the project’s DNA to think of arts as a device that can trigger change and strive for connections with other projects /artists/spaces.
This led us to venture in yet another pathway: the creation of Attraversamenti Multipli (Multiple Crossovers), a multidisciplinary festival we have been organising on yearly basis since 2001. Attraversamenti Multipli investigates relations and interferences between contemporary artistic languages and the present, by proposing artistic events in unusual urban spaces in the city of Rome.
Attraversamenti Multipli condenses in a multi-layer project our artistic research on the possible combinations between the arts and urban spaces, and between artistic action and places of life.
From 2001 to 2013, Margine Operativo produced and organised the festival’s thirteen editions. During these 13 years, Attraversamenti Multipli received funding from the Lazio Region, the Province of Rome and the Municipality of Rome.
For the editions of 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, one of the festival’s events was part of the official “Notte Bianca” programme, the night-time festival of Rome.
During its various editions, Attraversamenti Multipli hosted dozens of artists from both the Italian and international contemporary scene. With a special focus on the independent and “new” scene, the festival chose uncommon locations and organised workshops and conferences, reaching out to a wide and diversified audience.
The festival’s mission is to bring performance arts in inhabited spaces and unusual areas, so as to interact with a vast variety of people and use such artistic actions to enhance the spaces themselves – seeing them in as spaces of life and relations.
Margine Operativo is based in Rome.

A border is the extreme edge of a surface
It’s the white space where written words don’t reach
It’s a free space that creates a fluctuating sospension,
lasting a fraction of a second,
Between words, toughts and images
