Pro scena is about promoting dialogue between cultures and celebrating human creativity. Performing arts create cross-national communications and new languages that broaden horizons. The living dialogue of arts is the way to share and enrich cultures, overcoming prejudices and achieving mutual respect. Our mission is to assist artists in achieving their visions and to manage their work to be seen and discussed all over the world. We do not believe in boundaries, we believe in crossing boundaries and establish new standards.

The meaning of pro scena: 'pro' as in favor of, but also as professional, and 'scena' that is the Italian word for stage. As one word 'proscena' alludes to the proscenium, the part of the stage which is closer to audience.
