CUCU’
It is a project that wishes to promote an alliance between the theatrical world and the educational world, establishing a national network on theatre and early childhood (0 – 6 years). It is promoted and coordinated by four children’s theatre companies: Compagnia Petra, Il Teatro nel Baule, Schedía Teatro and Teatro Koreja, with the complicity of La Baracca Testoni Ragazzi.
It aims to involve theater and education professionals who wish to discuss the theater for 0-6 (with particular attention to 0-3) to share practices, experiences and instances of different territories, with the aim of creating a permanent observatory of early childhood theatre at national level.
