founder and leader of the Jubilo Foundation, director, actor, theatre educator. Graduate of MA in Acting at Manchester Metropolitan University and Communication Science (Theatre) at Università degli Studi di Milano (2007). Since 2011, he has been the founding member and leader of Jubilo, a theatre company based in Wroclaw (PL) that develops work with marginalised groups. With the company, he has directed and developed theatre projects in different milieus including prisons, Roma communities, facilities for people with intellectual and physical disabilities, and refugee camps.
Since 2014, Pileggi has been the co-founder and leader of Unlocking, an innovative theatre project addressed to inmates of closed and half open departments, developed in collaboration with the Grotowski Institute and penitentiaries throughout Poland. The main aim of the project is to develop a horizontal platform of cooperation with the participants of the work, based on theatrical techniques, in order to open a process of self-definition, personal growth and support their reintroduction to the outside society. Within Unlocking, he directed the performances Reflection (co-director 2015), Kain (2019), Kain In Absentia (2020) and On the Other Side/Passage (2020).
He is a founding member of the International Network of Theatre in Prison (INTiP, with the patronage of Unesco) and collaborates with the Italian Network of Theatre in Prison (Coordinamento Nazionale Teatro in Carcere). In the last years he has developed national and international projects with institutional, theatrical and academic bodies, related to the topic of Theatre in Prison (i.e. Creative Europe, Erasmus+, Università la Sapienza di Roma).
For many years, his work is run in collaboration with the Wrocław-based Grotowski Institute, where he develops his personal theatrical research and a formation program for performers and actors, whose main focus consists in the development of theatrical training techniques within the frame of physical and ensemble-based practices. As a theatre researcher and educator, his approach is rooted into research theatre and process-based work, with a specific interest in body-voice, psycho-physical training and personal expression.
As a director, performer and workshop leader he has been cooperating with theatrical institutions in Poland and abroad (i.e. Tehran International Festival, Polski Theatre, National Academy of Theatre Arts). He is a founding member of the Italy-based theatre company Il Giardino delle Ore.
