Casa

La Baracca Testoni Ragazzi (Italy)

Home. A place where me is just me. A home where to find shelter, eat, take a bath, sleep. A place where to live and share experiences. A place where I can welcome others. A home to explore and invent, a place that changes as I change. A place from which to leave and discover everything outside it, and a place to go back to every time.

Two characters meet and begin to get to know each other as they build a home. Building turns into play, and little by little, while playing, they build a story, a structure, a roof, a house. The rituals of daily life, of family roles, of childhood memories shift and change through play revealing new meanings and connections. 

Through simple gestures, images, and minimal text, Casa offers an open-ended invitation for young audiences observing to bring their own imaginations and stories to the moment. A true co-creation.

About La Baracca Testoni Ragazzi

Since 1995, La Barraca produces shows for children from 0 to 14. Thanks to a wide range of theatre productions, a rich programme and constant research work, creates and offers occasions for boys and girls to explore different artistic languages. The new generations are thus offered multiple points of view through which they can observe and approach the world, because art and culture can be enriching in our personal and collective growth.
