4 stories in 4 masks
What will Arlecchino do in front of an open book? Will he cope with Italo Calvino or run into mischief like Marcovaldo? What about Doctor Balanzone? Will he be as knowledgeable as Gianni Rodari’s Professor Grammaticus? What will the bold Capitano do when confronted with a baby dragon, created from the pen of Mario Ramos? And Zanni – is he hungry enough to eat Princess Lucille, as told by Henriette Bichonnier?
Books in Masks is an animated lecture told in a theatrically engaging way, exploring children’s classics.
