MR. POTATO

With the arrival of spring the beauty of many species surprise us, flowers and trees, hidden during the cold winter. Mr. Potato came from inside the earth, where the roots live, and he is familiar with the magic of the first day of spring. With your help we will give color and life to the different species, and find out what is happening in the forest on this day when everything is changing! With the help of simple potatoes, we can build a comic book, full of colors and shapes that appear almost like magic. Potatoes can act as perfect rubber stamps: with them the little ones play and compose images from the simple shapes of the triangle, rectangle, square, circle, etc.. All children can carry their comics home and those who will feel for it can experiment and create their own story.

GENIE IN THE BOTTLE

Inside the bottles we keep in the kitchen lives a genie who awakens as soon as we open it and jumps immediately into the cork. All the things we use in our daily life has their secret soul. And at night when we sleep, all the cards, plastic packaging, awake to have fun. There are cardboard men who dream with the card land, plastic animals that would like to visit Africa, and there is a genie from the bottle that awakens as soon as we open it and knows how to make our wishes come true. For the genie to stay happy we'll give him a new body so he can dance! Participate in our workshop and build your own genie! His form will help you understand how it works and how to make traditional puppetry. The fun will not end when the figure is ready: The next step is to teach your genie to dance ...

colaboration on the CARDBOARD STORIES

"... for far, far away, forever."

To celebrate the European Day of Music we invite you to create your own instrument by giving a new meaning to used materials. To get inspired for this task we'll tell the story about a donkey, a rooster, a dog and a cat that in the search for freedom found their musicality!
