Dear KIT's Friends,
When you don't hear from KIT, it means we are working in bringing more Italian theater, art, Italian infinite culture to the States.
Many things are happening and I am proud to say that 2012 could really symbolize the turning point for our beautiful company. As you could check below, we are welcoming new members in the KIT family, we are presenting new events and... well, we are preparing something even bigger for 2013. I am not going to add more. For now. You'll be discovering everything step by step, together with us.
You'll hear from us again very soon... until then,
Ciao, Laura&KIT

Introducing KIT Associate Producer
JANINE WHITE
We met Janine in 2009. She sat in the audience at our first KITCaffe'. She had organized a meet up at our event and she came to talk to us. We immediately loved her. Her smile, her energy and her love for anything Italian conquered us. Then, she collaborated with KIT in the production of Tosca and the two downstairs. Janine is a great worker, a great producer and a great person, so we dared to ask her to join KIT as Associate Producer. She accepted! Thank you Janine, we are honored to welcome you in the KIT family!

| | Kairos |
According to ancient Greeks, Kairos was the god of the "fleeting moment," "a favorable opportunity opposing the fate of man." Such a moment must be grasped (by the tuft of hair on the personified forehead of the fleeting opportunity); otherwise the moment is gone and cannot be re-captured (personified by the back of head being bald). A concept similar to Kairos is that behind the famous motto "Carpe Diem" and a sort of recurrence in the idea of Kairos is linked with the theme of The Wheel of Fortune, which continuously rotates.
Once upon a time... KIT!
Many years ago (I was still in Italy) I have started my own theatre company with some friends, all actors like me. We decided to call us with the temporary name of Le Gramaglie, which was fun, but didn't feel completely right. Then one day, in Rome (my city), while I was walking through an exhibition dedicated to the Greek sculptor Lysippos, I have discovered a fascinated figure, Kairos, which Lysippos replicated a lot.
Kairos was a semi-god, with a lot of hair in the forehead while completely bold in the back. He symbolized the right occasion grabbed at the right moment: in fact, you can grab it when it's coming (the hair in the forehead), but when it's gone, you won't catch it anymore... I found the concept to be beautiful, an hymn to life lived at full, an exhortation to grab the chance, even when it looks risky, just because your heart says that is the right one.
This is the very simple reason I have called my company Kairos, and when I have came to the States, I have just added Italy to better show what the company was about. After so many years, I can say that I was right: I took many chances, and I still do, and it's still very beautiful and rewarding!
