On its agenda, the Festival has theatrical events for very young children, toddlers and even babies, and their parents. And also for all those people who are interested in this latest tendency, rapidly gaining serious attention.

LA BARACCA – TESTONI RAGAZZI,$1 BOLOGNA,$1 27th February – 6th March 2016
Next year it will be 30 years since La Baracca and the Municipality of Bologna began the project Teatro e Nido (Theatre and crèche),$1 that gave the starting impulse to the research the company has been developing on theatre for early years.
On this occasion, La Baracca, together with the Municipality of Bologna, wants to offer to a group of young artists (under 35) the opportunity to enter the educational facilities for children 0-3 and 3-6 years old. The artists will have the chance to “meet the children” presenting them a brief performance, telling a story, leading a small workshop, talking with and observing them. They will have the chance to visit one or two services during the festival.
Visioni is a theatre festival for early years and it is one of the Small size Festivals. Small size – the European Network for the Diffusion of Performing Arts for Early Years – has existed since 2005 with the support of the European Commission through the Culture Programme.
The Festival is the core of an international network which includes exchange among artists, educators, teachers, pedagogues and professionals working with the target group of early year children. During the festival it is possible to attend many different events, such as shows, training activities, meetings, lectures, conferences and seminars.
“Visioni di futuro, Visioni di teatro…” will take place at Testoni Ragazzi Theatre in Bologna (Italy) from February 27th to March 6th 2016.
