La Baracca - Testoni Ragazzi
Teatro Stabile d’Innovazione per l’Infanzia e la Gioventù
Founded in 1976, La Baracca has been
working in the field of theatre for children
and early years for the past 39 years. The
company’s productions are addressed
exclusively to children and young
people, and they are centred on actors
theatre and on an original theatrical style.
Over the years, they have developed
a poetics aimed at generating
amazement, trying to pursue simplicity
intended as essentiality, always paying
special attention to the relationship with
the audience.
To date, La Baracca has produced over
160 shows for children and young people,
with more than 10.000 performances.
Every year, new productions for all age
groups are realised, for children attending
crèches to secondary school students, as
well as for those attending primary schools and kindergarten children.
Since their first project “A place for kids”, which started in 1980, La Baracca
has strengthened its relationship with the territory. In 1983, La Baracca started
to administer the Sanleonardo Theatre, in agreement with the Municipality
of Bologna. It was the first agreement between a public body and a theatre
company for children and young people. Since 1995, the theatre has moved to
the Teatro Testoni Ragazzi and it has become a Stable Theatre of Innovation for
Children and Young People.
In addition to the activities of the Teatro
Testoni Ragazzi in Bologna, they manage
two small Theatre halls in Medicina (district
of Bologna). This was the starting point for the
project “Medicinateatro”. Moreover, over
the years, they have been collaborating
with other municipalities of the district.
To date, 36 theatrical seasons have
been programmed in Bologna, and 14
in Medicina. Over 1.400.000 amongst
children, youngsters and adults have taken
part in them. The performances have been
more than 6.500, for over 800 titles, presented by 450 Italian, European and extraEuropean companies.
Tours
Since its foundation, the company presented its shows not only in Italy,
but also in many international festivals in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,
Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Guatemala,
Japan, Hungary, India, Ireland, Mexico, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland,
Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan and Zambia. Many of
the scripts written by La Baracca - Testoni Ragazzi’s authors have been
translated and staged by other companies in Austria, France, Germany,
The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.
Small size and Europe
In August 2014 the European Union, for the
fourth time, recognised Small size’s dignity as
a networking project. And “Creative Europe”,
EU’s programme for Art and Culture, will
be supporting the new project “Small size,
Performing Arts for Early Years” until 2018.
Since 2005, La Baracca has been the project
leader of Small Size, the European Network
for the Diffusion of the Performing Arts for
Early Years. The partners of the network are
now 17, from 15 different countries, and the
activities they develop mainly involve shows,
festivals, workshops, research, promotion and
communication.
Visioni di futuro, visioni di teatro…
From 1987 on, La Baracca has been carrying out the project “Theatre
and the crèches”, addressed to very young children. It is one of the very
few companies in Italy and Europe focusing on this extremely critical
age group.
This piece of research, along with the one
focused on the age group 3-6, was the starting
point for the creation of “Visions of future, visions
of theatre...”, the international festival of theatre
and culture for early years.
Their innovative work and the promotion of
theatre for early years were awarded by ASSITEJ
International, with the ASSITEJ Award for Artistic
Excellence 2008
Workshops
Along with the production of shows,
La Baracca - Testoni Ragazzi organises
workshops and carries out research work.
Theatrical workshops are realised both in
the theatre premises and in the schools;
they mainly address children and young
people, but also teachers and educators
(i.e. training courses). It was thanks to such activities that they could realise
projects such as “Errare humanum est” and “Cantamaggio”, a three-days
workshop for 100 youngsters who could share a theatrical experience.
Projects
La Baracca – Testoni Ragazzi has often collaborated with other bodies or
institutions, developing national or international projects. Among these:
“Ambassador Project”, through which the company has been presenting
shows and workshops in developing countries, to children from the
Indian communities of Guatemala,
Mexico and Nicaragua, in refugee
camps in Ex-Yugoslavia, in Brazilian
favelas, in Romanian orphanages
and
in
Mozambique’s
schools.
In August 2014 La Baracca started
a training project aimed at building
an acting company joined by young
Zambia citizens that may create shows and workshops for children and
kids, in collaboration with ONG Amani. This project will continue during
the next few years: during the festival Bruno Cappagli is going to present
all the work that has been done as well as the next steps of the project.
“Charter of Children’s Rights to Art and Culture”, a document collecting
18 principles to state the right of all children, all over the world, to enjoy
art and culture. The rights have been illustrated by 22 illustrators and
translated from Italian into 26 languages. The project has obtained
enormous support all over Europe, and has been endorsed and
sponsored by significant Italian and foreign institutions. The Charter has
been realised in the form of a book and of a website where it is possible
to endorse the 18 principles.
Institutional relationships
Along with the support of the Municipality of Bologna, the work of La
Baracca – Testoni Ragazzi has been recognised and acknowledged by
the Ministry of Culture since 1979 and since 1982 by the Emilia Romagna
Region. Since 2005, thanks to the Small size project, it is supported by the
European Commission.
Behind La Baracca - Testoni Ragazzi lies a strong commitment to cooperation of
the thirty amongst artists, technicians and organisers that compose the group.
Functions and role sometimes overlap and it can be difficult to distinguish them.
