The relationship between children and objects is profound, part of their growth and their research on the world.

This workshop deals with experimentation with the language of object theater as a tool for the construction of plays for children. In essence, the relationship between form and content in scenic construction will be worked through reflection and experimentation with materials and objects.

We will investigate the choice of a specific semantic field of objects or matter, for the elaboration of a particular aesthetic that enters into dialogue with the dramatic content.
