500 children from the Nursery School at the Concordia Theater for a story of a balloon
On Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 at the Concordia Theater, about 500 San Marino and Ukrainian children from Kindergartens participated, in a special matinee specifically dedicated to them, in the theatrical show Storia di una palla by and with Silvano Antonelli of the Stilema / Unoteatro company , winner of the show of the Golden Ticket for the AGIS Theater – ETI 2007/2008, Children’s and Youth Theater. The event was held in the context of Diversà was carried out in the context of Diversà stato realized, the review that is part of the context of “Theater and citizenship” initiated by the Department of Human Sciences of the University of San Marino and by the University of Bologna, a project carried out in collaboration with the University of Bologna Cultural Institutes, as part of the Theater Season of San Marino Teatro with the support and collaboration with the Equal Opportunities Authority of the Republic of San Marino. An actor tells the story of a blue balloon that, unlike the other balloons, can’t help but escape to the top. If his mother bathes him and gets distracted for a moment to take the towel, he … flies away. Even when he goes to school he never manages to sit still in the desk and flies … up to the ceiling talking to the chandelier. The blue balloon does not do it on purpose, while he is doing one thing his thoughts fly to fantasize about another. The father and mother are worried and take him to the doctor, but he also runs away from there and flies so high that he ends up in “the most airy town there is”. He finally he can think everything he wants … but nothing comes to mind. Now that he’s got so high that he sees the world as a speck, it’s to that speck that he wants to go back. Like him, he would like to be able to live with his head in the clouds and with his feet on the ground. In this way the dreams and ideas conquered could be used to change, perhaps with others, his little piece of the world. In the show, the blue balloon meets other colored balloons that make up the various images: friends, the first flower, school, a butterfly, clouds, the passing of time … The actor is accompanied in the narration by a soundtrack made using many, disparate and unlikely “musical instruments”. Through the character of the blue balloon, children become the protagonists of a story that speaks of the desire for freedom, the sense of responsibility and the thread that binds the ideal world of desires to the reality of what can be achieved.
