With Al centro del Cocomero, FirenzeOnStage opens the doors of Teatro Niccolini to schools with six performances for children and young people aged 3 to 18.
Theatre, music, dance and storytelling become opportunities to discover new forms of expression and explore, in ways suited to different age groups, themes such as emotions, memory, rights, freedom, inclusion and respect.
The programme, created in collaboration with the Blanca Teatro association, is part of Il Cartellone within the City of Florence’s Le Chiavi della Città project. Each performance is followed by a moment of discussion, offering students the opportunity to share and reflect together on their experience at the theatre.
