The Story Of The Child That Saved All Stories can be seen as a parable of a kingdom in which everything is turned upside down, and where the servants become rulers, whilst the rulers turn into servants. It’s a show about the values and the truths of the adults, which are always on opposite terms with those of the children; a show that talks about our need for love, for stories and for happy-endings. In a world that’s torn apart by a never ending crisis, children represent our only hope and that’s a fact emphasized by life itself.
The play on which this performance is based won, in 2008, the award for “Best Play” at the second edition of the playwriting for children contest, that took place within the “100, 1000, 1000.000 stories” International Theatre Festival For Children.
