Teatro Francesco Cilea · Reggio di Calabria, Costa Viola, Calabria

24 October 2026

On 24 October 2026, the Francesco Cilea Theatre in Reggio Calabria will host “Diary of a Trapeze Artist”, a previously unperformed play featuring Sigfrido Ranucci, a well-known figure in Italian investigative journalism. Away from the spotlight of television, Ranucci brings to the stage a personal and intense narrative, centred on the lesser-known episodes of his professional and private life. Starting with the major investigations featured on Report, the show traces the encounters, choices, risks and decisive moments that have shaped his journey.

Ranucci brings the journalist behind Report to the stage

On 24 October 2026, the Francesco Cilea Theatre in Reggio Calabria hosts "Diario di un trapezista" (Diary of a Trapeze Artist), a new stage piece featuring Sigfrido Ranucci, the well-known host of the investigative journalism programme Report. Away from the television spotlight, Ranucci brings a personal, intense narrative to the stage, built around the lesser-known episodes of his professional and private life.

The investigations, the risks, the people met along the way

Starting from the major investigations carried out for Report, the show moves through encounters, choices, risks and decisive moments that have shaped Ranucci's career. Unexpected figures take shape in the telling: ordinary people, witnesses, occasional collaborators and marginal presences who, at crucial moments, helped make some of his most important investigations possible.

The "trapeze artist": between courage and fragility

The show's title captures the evening's tone: on stage emerges the "Sigfrido trapezista", suspended between information and danger, courage and fragility, public life and private self. A monologue about what often stays off screen, restoring the human, complex side of investigative journalism, away from the usual narrative tied to his television role.
