Onde Maestre ("Master Waves"): A long raley race finally at theatre

From the podcast to the stage

Grazie alla collaborazione con la Compagnia Teatrale MaMiMò a settembre andrà in scena lo spettacolo teatrale ispirato al podcast A long relay race.

Reruns scheduled:

In 1991 Reggio Emilia was indicated by Newsweek, one of the most important American magazines, as the most innovative city in the world regarding preschools. The territory of Reggio Emilia becomes the educational model to look to.
But how was it possible for a small Italian province to obtain such a prestigious recognition, which then led to this educational approach being studied all over the world? As often happens, little is enough: a stone thrown into a pond, and the courage to see it hit the bottom. That stone is the voices of many women from Reggio Emilia who were able to imagine a different world by getting their hands dirty to build schools throughout the province.

To act you need to see the possibilities, but how do you train yourself to do so? Are we still able to imagine? To talk about rights, freedom, female emancipation and education, we decided to play at being children. In a storytelling show, the story with a capital "S" fits into a typical day in a preschool. Two boys and a girl, with a trunk full of recycled materials, will build and transform the space and their identity.

A collective creation by and with Riccardi Bursi, Francesco Garuti, Maria Francesca Rossi,
Francesco Zanlungo
Sound dramaturgy Riccardo Bursi.
Materials and props found at the “Re Mida Creative Recycling Center”.
Production by Centro Teatrale MaMiMò inspired by the podcast “A long raley race” created within the European project The Most Beautiful Of Our Days (CERV-2021-CITIZENS-REM) realized by Progettinfanzia Bassa Reggiana, Istoreco, DGB Bildungswerk Hessen di Francoforte.
