Five shows in the theatre review dedicated to children, scheduled from 3 December to 12 March
Councillor Chiodetti: ”We strongly wanted to start over again what started in 2009 thanks to Vincenzo Cerami’s very happy and far-sighted intuition”
The family theatre review ‘La Domenica dei Sogni‘, conceived by Vincenzo Cerami in 2009 to promote the love of theatre among the younger generations, is back.
From 3 December to 12 March there will be five shows that will accompany children and their families throughout the winter period, a journey together with Italy’s best companies in the splendid setting of the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti on Sundays at 4.30 pm.
“The magic of Christmas, the adventure of a journey, the wonder of diversity and the beauty of acceptance, passing through the everlasting tale of Pinocchio to Hannibal’s elephants. We strongly wanted this restart after the stop of the health emergency, because “La Domenica dei Sogni” is an opportunity to introduce young and very young people to the language of theatre, sharing with their families the confrontation and dialogue on the themes told” – explained councillor Danilo Chiodetti – “This route, now in its thirteenth edition and born in 2009 thanks to a very happy and far-sighted intuition of Vincenzo Cerami, then councillor for culture in Spoleto, wants to contribute to providing the youngest with the necessary keys to understanding everyday life, relationships and sociality through storytelling, fantasy and culture”.
This year’s ‘Sunday of Dreams’ programme will kick off with two appointments in December. Sunday 3 December will begin with “Chi ha rapito Babbo Natale” (Who kidnapped Father Christmas), a show by the Compagnia Teatro Verde of Rome, winner of the 2003 City of Aosta Prize, by Andrea Calabretta, directed by Pino Strabioli, and will continue on 18 December with “Sapore di sale. The odyssey of a sardine” by the Compagnia La Baracca Testoni Ragazzi of Bologna, by Bruno Cappagli and Fabio Galanti.
There will be three appointments in 2023. The first is scheduled for 15 January, when the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti will host “Pinocchio“, a show by the Fondazione Teatro Ragazzi e Giovani di Torino (devised and directed by Luigina Dagostino, with Claudio Dughera, Daniel Lascar, Claudia Martore), while on 5 February it will be the turn of “La fiaba di Celeste” by the Compagnia La Piccionaia, directed by Gianni Franceschini.
The last show of the Family Theatre review “La Domenica dei Sogni” will be “Annibale memorie di un elefante” by the Compagnia Teatro Gioco Vita, scheduled for Sunday 12 March. The project, dramaturgy and direction is by Nicola Cavallari, with Giorgio Branca, Nicola Cavallari and Tommaso Pusant Pagliarini.
