Event #38
Marco Somà
To infinity… and beyond!
workshop ages 8-11 – 60 minutes; 25 participants
Can infinity be enclosed in a bottle, in a box, in a fenced area? Not at all, but you can celebrate it, sing it, trap it, and leave it to the future through twelve immortal hendecasyllables. Everyone has their own hedge, a place to be alone with their imagination. Perhaps you hold your hedge in your hand – that is the paper that will become the door to your splendid shipwreck.
