LineWorld - A Little Play Against Boredom

With: MICHELE BELTRAMI and PAOLA CANNIZZARO
Live Music: ALESSANDRO PEDRETTI
Costums VERONICA SALVINI
Two friends, two little monkeys—two gibbons to be exact—are getting bored. There is nothing around them. There is only empty space. There is nothing to play with, just nothing.
You need little to have fun. A thin line drawn into the empty space is the starting point. From boredom, where nothing happens, to the meeting with the other, going through the fear of loneliness, following the line that goes around the world, the two gibbons will learn to play together, with simplicity, imagination and creativity. A play, a game, a space filled with geometrical shapes and sounds, where body and voice chase each another; a space where to discover topological concepts and numbers, where kids can recognize themselves through their own shared emotions.
I am not scared if you play with me I am not alone if you play with me
I am not bored if you play with me
All thanks to a single line! This was its purpose. We shall remember that line every time we get bored and ask ourselves: what can we play with?
