For three days, from 17 to 19 April, as happens every year, Haifa will host the International Children’s Theatre Festival, organised by the local Municipal Theatre, assisted by the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa, to celebrate the Jewish and Christian Easter. The Festival will feature many theatre shows, outdoor shows and activities for children.
As is tradition, Italy will attend the street theatre section of the event, whose pantomime language and music succeeds in communicating with a vast, heterogeneous audience whose native language is not Italian.
This year, two Italian poetic and amusing shows are scheduled, to be staged two or three times a day, for a total of 14 shows in the three days of the Festival: “Controvento” by Michele Cafaggi and “Out!” by Marco Mannucci.
