A summer of fairy tales, theatrical games and adventures to tell. The “E-stiamo al parco” festival returns to Casa Saddi, in the historic Pirri neighborhood , organized by Il Crogiuolo – theatrical intervention center, which for years has accompanied the summer of the little ones and their families with stories, emotions and reflections.
Nine events, from today, June 10th, until August 5th, to make children aged 3 and up (and not only) dream and think.
This year too, the festival is not limited to simple entertainment: through theatrical language, worlds open up where the little ones learn to deal with important themes such as friendship, self-confidence, respect for nature, acceptance of diversity, solidarity and knowledge of fairy tales and legends. All immersed in the green and familiar setting of Casa Saddi, an authentic corner of quiet and culture.
The program will open tonight at 5:30 p.m. with “Ciuffetto Rosso” , a production by Anfiteatro Sud with Francesco Civile and Federica Zucca, written and directed by Susanna Mameli. A fable set in a Sardinian forest transformed by a shopping center: among oaks, holm oaks and diesel buses, a surreal story unfolds, which makes you smile but also makes you reflect on what we lose when we let nature be overwhelmed by concrete.
Followed by “This is the best show in the world” (June 12, 4:30 p.m.), with Riccardo Bucci and Cristiana Tramparulo, produced by L'Effimero Meraviglioso. An irresistible parody of the world of records and competition at all costs, where everything becomes measurable… except the things that really matter.
With Marta Gessa, on June 24th at 5:30 pm, we return to the Sardinian tradition with “Contos e faulas” , popular fairy tales and ancestral stories that come to life between kamishibai, mysterious suitcases and the magic of oral narration. Produced by Il Crogiuolo.
On July 1st at 6:30 pm, it's Chiara Murru's turn and her "The Prince and the Rose" (a SpazioT production): inspired by The Little Prince, it's a workshop-show in which children become protagonists, transforming into the characters of the story thanks to costumes and props.
From the universe of fairy tales comes “Lapsus in fabula”, by Ivano Cugia (July 8, 6:30 pm), produced by Origamundi. A company of quick-change actors stages an enchanted chaos of mixed fairy tales, puppets, music and comedy to tell that even in disorder there can be magic.
On July 22nd at 6:30 pm it will be the turn of “A world of fairy tales”, a production of La bottega dei teatranti: three merchants, tireless travelers, tell legends collected during their pilgrimages between deserts and distant courts. A celebration of cultural diversity that speaks to all ages.
On July 29th at 6:30 pm, “I colori del panda” arrives, a new production by Le compagnia del Cocomero, directed by Rahul Bernardelli. Between puppets and poetry, the story of Pandy, the panda bored by his black and white fur, and Lisetta, a little girl who will teach him that diversity is a value.
Closing the show, on August 5th at 6:30 pm, is the show “La mia vera arte” (My true art) , created by Marta Gessa and Nicolò Delpiano. An aspiring painter, frustrated by his failures, receives an imaginary visit from the great masters of the past: it is from them that he will understand that authentic art comes from the heart and not from imitation.
