for those interested in exploring the present
A performance that explores and overturns the power relationship between children and adults, giving space to children’s imagination and their idea of the future.
The project, conducted with a group of children, is based on three elements: hands, which are the part of the body most exposed to the world and the point of contact between different generations; the skilful reading of hands used by children as a game to express their imagination and desires; and the sculptural hats worn by the children who, like little oracles, become the architects of new visions and perspectives. An invitation to listen is a gesture of hope and a break from the past.
