Scheda Completa
“Waves” is the second stage of a trilogy of artistic research and production on the theme of boundaries, created by the Petra Theatre Company, inspired by the Silent Books of Korean illustrator Suzy Lee. “Waves” is a project for children and young audiences; specifically, three performances will be presented to three different age group. After IN totheborder (based on the text “Shadow”), this second work is inspired by the book “The Wave”, in which the author tells a very simple yet complex story: that of a little girl and her encounter with the sea, which leads her to cross a boundary, to experience, and to learn.
The performance stems from a musical research project (both artistic and pedagogical) specifically designed for the 0-3 age group, creating a musical work that is accessible not only through sound but also through sight, movement, and touch. This project was developed as part of the Grow – Inclusive Opera initiative and funded within the Boarding Pass Plus 2022-24 programme of the Ministry of Culture. In “Waves”, the sea is the natural element that contains and awakens a series of contrasting emotions and moods: curiosity, fascination, the desire to play, but also the unknown, fear, and the need to escape.
But the sea, through the tool of exploration and self-knowledge that is play, also marks the boundary between the real and the imaginary. The boundary, therefore, is not an insurmountable line, but a necessary crossing for transformation, which changes and always leaves behind a treasure to keep.
