CCN/Aterballetto at Internazionale Kids
The CCN/Aterballetto, together with Internazionale Kids, presents Alla ricerca della meraviglia, a project created for children that places curiosity, amazement, and the ability to look at the world with fresh eyes at its heart.
The project unfolds through three choreographic studies by Fernando Melo, Jacopo Jenna, and Francesco Marilungo. Three different visions sharing the same question: what does it mean today, for new generations, to experience wonder? This research will lead to the creation of a performance designed to tour theatres, aimed at children and young audiences.
Audiences will have the opportunity to preview this journey during the Internazionale Kids festival in Reggio Emilia, ahead of its official debut, scheduled for June 2026 at the Colpi di Scena festival in Forlì.
Performed by Matteo Capetola, Matilde Di Ciolo, Kiran Gezels and Alessia Giacomelli.
Events at Internazionale Kids
On Friday 8 May at 10.30 a.m., at Fonderia, home of CCN/Aterballetto (Via della Costituzione 39, Reggio Emilia), there will be a presentation of the three choreographic studies, together with the new creation by Teatro Koreja entrusted to Babilonia Teatri.
The event is reserved for schools.
On Saturday 9 May at 9.00 p.m., at Teatro Cavallerizza (Viale Antonio Allegri 8, Reggio Emilia), the three studies will be presented to the public.
