Il Grande per i Piccoli

The Teatro Grande is transformed into a multidisciplinary venue featuring workshops, play areas and themed activities!

Il Grande per i piccoli transforms the Teatro Grande into a multidisciplinary space for a day, featuring workshops, play areas, themed activities, and storytelling for young children, culminating in a performance in the Sala Grande. For the occasion, professionals from various disciplines are invited to create projects specifically designed for children. It’s an unusual and fun way to introduce children under 11 and their families to contemporary art forms.

With the support of Progetto B20.

Gioco totale
Ludosofici
The usual rules don’t apply here: there are no points, no leaderboards, and you can’t win on your own! The only real aim? To work together, have fun and create new stories together.

La bandiera totale
Ludosofici
No teams, no competition, just one big flag. Starting with a large sheet spread out on the ground, and using shapes, blocks of colour and symbols borrowed from flags around the world, the children will work together to create a single, large collective artwork. A mosaic of identities that unites rather than divides.

Punto, Linea, Fiaba!
Ludosofici
Rewriting the narrative without words. Drawing inspiration from the masterpieces of Warja Lavater, participants will transformfairy tales and stories into two-dimensionalvisual sequences, using only basic geometric shapes. Circles, triangles and squarescome to life on a leporello: an introductory key to decipher thecharacters, the rhythm of the shapes tocreate the plot. A pure immersion insynthesis, space and colour.

Guardaguardamiguarda
Quasi quasi
From ancient times right up to the present day, we have used masks to look through them and understand the world around us. During ‘Guardaguardamiguarda’, we will be making masks using the paper-cut technique. We will use large sheets of coloured paper for the base, rounded-tip scissors to cut out all the decorations, and glue to stick them on. At the end of the workshop, the masks will be worn and used within the theatre’s spaces.

Storie biscotto al Teatro Grande: un mondi di musica
Libreria Caleidoscopio
Through reading aloud, we will take the children on a special journey, where words intertwine with sounds, rhythms and emotions. Together, we will explore real and imaginary places, meet intriguing characters and discover how music can bring together different people, cultures and worlds. Each story will be an opportunity to let our imaginations run wild, listen with curiosity and be swept away by the magic of words.

Suonosentimisuono
Quasi quasi
Sound, too, represents a language for us to explore and another way of looking at others. Using the recycled materials at our disposal, we build fantastic instruments and try to discover together how many different ‘forms and phrases’ we can create to communicate – or even just to make ourselves heard. The theatre spaces will thus become the soundbox for a variety of shared moments, ranging from free listening to collective happenings.

Lettere birbs. Laboratorio di calligrafia impertinente
Giovanni Colaneri
After a brief recounting of the adventures of the madcap duo Katio and Leona, workshop participants will set about creating one or more letters in a thoroughly cheeky style, just as a real cockatiel would do. You don’t need to know the whole alphabet or be able to draw!

Gianni, il cantastorie senza memoria
Gianni Biondillo
It can’t be easy wanting to be a theatre artist whilst also having a terrible memory. That’s what’s happening to Gianni, a storyteller full of good intentions but with a memory that’s all over the place. He’d like to tell stories, write songs and play roles, but he loses his train of thought every time. Perhaps, though, there’s something that can be done for him: give him a hand in making up a story about music, artists, singers and who knows what else. Are there any children who’d like to help him?
