the first European festival on creativity

2023 Programme

Event #35

Giuseppe Vitale

Like in a circus

workshop ages 5-8 – 60 minutes; 20 participants

Strange things happen in this circus and the bizarre and extraordinary characters we meet invite us to look at the world with confidence and wonder. Some of them will amaze us with jumps and spins; we will give them a voice to make them tell us their story and maybe they will decide to come home with us.
