Explore, Imagine & Discover
Step into a world of wonder where children become explorers of their own journey. ARCHIPELAGO is an immersive theatre installation brought to life through children’s actions. Inside a darkened space, a glowing cluster of tiny islands awaits—each designed for a single adventurer. At every island, children uncover a playful question or request, sparking imagination, reflection, or hands-on interaction. Guided by simple prompts like listen, look, feel, and tell, each stop offers a new surprise—through sound, touch, or contemplation—creating a gentle, magical adventure where children discover both the islands and themselves. Watch the video below.
Co-presented with Vancouver International Children’s Festival and Boca del Lupo’s Micro Performance Series.

Rave Reviews
Every child, moved by magical and deeply meaningful words (listen, look, hear, tell) is immersed in it, responding to the different stimuli, suggested by each island, creates their own emotional diary that is then shared with everyone
The most remarkable experience of the Festival, where childhood is finally placed totally at the centre of an original and shared artistic journey
