Staging assistant Vaes Francesco
A black box, half-way between fairground sideshow and contemporary art installation. The young viewers are entitled to enter in small groups. Steeped in darkness, they will experience illusion, of what is seen and what is imagined. The benevolent darkness hosts in its centre a skylight, which opens onto a multiple world. A giant kaleidoscope, playing with diffraction and inversion to produce an infinite combination of scenes, suitable to fuel the imagination. Here nothing is given, everything is suggested. It is up to children to use their sensitivity to connect these images rising from the dark. Stealth like shadows, short-lived like dreams, transient like lightning.
Before the show, the children can learn how to make their own kaleidoscope. A playful initiation to optics, and to the mischievous tricks our eyes can sometimes play on us.
