“YELLOW STONE” is a participatory, experiential, educational and entertainment event. It aims to empower, awaken and activate children regarding the phenomenon of climate change and energy saving. The text is inspired by real events that took place in the Yellowstone National Park of the USA at the beginning of the 20th century. From 1872 to 1926, the violent removal of the wolf from the Yellowstone habitat was implemented.
This brought about, over time, enormous changes in the ecosystem (eg declining biodiversity, desertification, degradation of the natural landscape). In 1995 wolves were reintroduced and this resulted in the habitat being restored to its original state – even the water flow was changed.

Fula is a shy snowflake, who decides to overcome her fears and travel the world. Through her adventures, she gets to know new cultures, different people and unknown places. Fula’s journey, the cycle of water, is an allegory for the cycle of life itself. A fairy tale becomes the occasion for a… otherworldly celebration. A musician, a storyteller and a magic wand are all we need to start our journey next to the snowflake!
The show is interactive and the children themselves are the protagonists!

Age group: 6+, duration: 40′ + 15′ at the end for the demonstration of the techniques and discussion of the show’s subjects.
The performance “THISEUS, THE KING OF ATHENS” highlights the beloved hero of Greek mythology. It discusses big questions of humans since the very beginning of civilization: justice, laws, immortality, daring, courage and self-sacrifice. Leaving his hometown and traveling to Minoan Crete, the hero’s adventures provide the background for an alternative and atmospheric performance. After the end of the show, we record his journey and we are transported to Athens of that time. We refer to the unwritten laws of the ancient Greeks but also to the written laws of modern civilization. How was the law applied then and how today? We try to distinguish the imaginary lines between mythology and history. Lions, wild beasts, terrifying robbers with supernatural powers, but also vines, olive groves and rivers that crossed Athens at the time, take us on a journey to another, by today’s standards unimaginable Athens. In the present some names of central arteries, such as the Sacred Way, remain the same, connecting the past with the present in a paradoxical way. The ancient temples and architectural wonders of that era are some of the legacies left to us by our ancestors. What are we leaving to our descendants today?
