Dario Fo’s ‘Accidental Death of an Anarchist’ (1970) responds to events unfolding in Italy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Generally, it looks at police corruption and suspicions regarding the government’s collusion in this corruption. More specifically, it addresses the actual death of an anarchist who was being held in police custody following the bombing of a Milan bank that killed sixteen people and wounded about ninety.

On a Different Note is an immersive theatrical experience that journeys slowly through music, light, and an abandoned structure. We are led from one moment to the next, with no way to go back and no way to let it go. With each chapter we learn a little more of a story that is our own making. As we fill these room that were once alive with sounds and voices and a little bit of our lives, we give hope to ourselves and others who make this journey with us.

Early experiences in the theatre allow young children an indelible experience that is deeply sensorial and perhaps even contributes to the beginning of their aesthetic journeys. Toddlers’ theatre is an endeavour to this end. Toddlers experience time, space and action in a more sensorially active manner than adults do. Plays specially designed for toddlers actively consider their experience of the world.
