Organizacija: Pantacon

The consortium is formed by Charta, Radiobase, Teatro Magro and Zerobeat cooperatives, and its first project under construction is called “Cultnetwork – making network for culture” and has been supported and supported by Cariplo Foundation and various local authorities (CCIAA), Province, Municipality, University.

Projekt: OVER THE PUPPET’S BRIDGE – the tradition between fairy tales and puppets

The project aims to re-discover the heritage of fairy tales (also through the collections of ethnographic museums in Europe), in order to spread awareness among the younger generation and among non-specialists, using innovative methods and interactive devices. Main actions and outputs should be:
– Studying the fairy tales repertoires to find out some contact between the different traditions. For example some common characters or situation (the foolish man, the fortune, the devil, etc.).
– Creating an interactive digital format on a permanent media device, valuable as a new product for museums or theatres to discover the contents of the fairy tale for new audiences.
– Realizing new puppet’s theatre performances based on the common characters for an audience of young people, families and children, travelling in all partner countries according to a joint planning (festival).
