For info and reservations0502211372.
The book - The fairy tale of the cruel Princess Turandot, insensitive to love and who is beheading all her pretenders, already so often told at the theater by names like Gozzi, Schiller, Busoni, Puccini, is here proposed in a completely unexpected way. Recovering its ancient origins popular, grafting magical and fairytale elements, highlighting the decisive role that in the story is occupied by the figure of the guest "foreign" able, with his actions, to heal the disease of the Princess and her city, the authors unveil an "other" story by Turandot, rich in value for today's kids. In addition, the volume offers the opportunity for its young readers to stage their Turandot, thanks to the multimedia contents of the attached DvD and simple and clear instructions. An invitation to "turn the roles", so that they become narrators themselves, transform the narration into a show with scenes and music, they enjoy playing with words, sounds, figures and hands, freely using their imagination . The book is a story to read and to tell, words and sounds to transform; characters to create; videos, music and sounds to play with; sets to make; a show to be represented at home, in the classroom or on the table; instructions for the use of texts and music; playful and educational suggestions to invent other shows; cards to learn more.
