After 35 years and over 2000 performances worldwide, PIGIAMI continues its adventure with the same on-stage energy and theatrical innovation it has always had, proving that it still has a topical language of a rare freshness and longevity, which makes it a true classic of children’s theatre. Originating as a play for very young audiences, it has been performed for both adults and children in many countries including Italy, France, Great Britain, Spain, the United States, Canada, Croatia, and Belgium.
The bedroom of an adult, who, in the evening’s solitude, discovers the pleasure of becoming a child again; a place where reciprocal curiosity and tenderness alternate in a pinwheel that has the dominant color of a new friendship. In the show, the gestural component prevails over the verbal one. The props, deliberately few in number, are things that we all usually know and use.
A perennial favorite that urges us not to keep our desire to play and dream.
