Poetics of the Festival
Belluno KIDS is a multidisciplinary cultural project created to facilitate access to the world of art and culture for children and their families and to offer them places and spaces where they can do something extra-ordinary together.
This is realised by offering highly diversified cultural proposals and guaranteeing all social groups of children, especially those in difficulty, an offer of events with free admission and free of charge, and realising events with admission at a symbolic cost.
All this to try to reduce that cultural discomfort in children, in that delicate phase of growth where it is essential to offer them artistic, cultural and social stimuli in an area where for geographical reasons the cultural offer dedicated to them may be scarce.
All the activities proposed, aimed at enhancing the plurality of languages (theatre, dance, music, prose, video, figure theatre), precious characteristics of Children’s Theatre, are realised by professionals, excellences of Children’s Theatre.
Prevalent languages
Open-air theatre, street theatre, circus, dance, theatre in the landscape, parades, site-specific performances
