Teatro Andromeda, Santo Stefano Quisquina,Sicily, August 2022 170

            This theatre was built by an artist shepherd named Lorenzo Reina, who constructed a circular stage and seats in a scenic area of the city, made of stone blocks that reproduce in number (108) and arrangement the stars of the constellation Andromeda (hence the name). The theatre is enjoying great success, even being presented at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.

At the summer solstice, the sun's shadow cast by a disc behind the stage projects a circle that coincides with a circular black space on the stage. Similarly, a ray of sunlight passes through the mouth of a sculpture at sunset.

It is also called the highest stone theatre in the world due to the fact that it is located at an altitude of about 900 metres.
