PETER PAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS
From the end of July until mid-August, Piazza Malatesta turns into a real square of dreams, like Kensington Gardens, after "closing time" transforms into a fairyland, an enchanting and supernatural world where everything it can happen.
An unmissable live show that will include flying choreographies, projections, music and words, will bring magic and amazement to the square of dreams for adults and children and will transform the outdoor area of the Fellini Museum into a place where you can continue or start dreaming again.
A great event, dedicated entirely to the joy of children and that of adults who would like to return to the good times when they lived a carefree childhood.
An extraordinary story full of interactivity designed and directed by Monica Maimone, accompanied by Festi Group, produced by Studio Festi, with video scenography performed by Matthias Schnabell and Edoardo Maimone - taken from the text by J. M. Barrie creator of the myth of Peter Pan, which in fact consists in the myth of eternal youth, through the archetype of the garden as a source of salvation.
The project and the themes
The popularity of the child character who didn't want to grow up was such that the author decided to republish another editorial work, namely Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.
The latter tells the story of the arrival of Peter, the protagonist, at the Gardens and how he learns to fly.
Such a visit to his mother is described, in which he observes that she has given birth to another child, somehow "replacing" him: therefore Peter makes the decision to never return to the adult world.
The fairy beings, inhabitants of the Gardens, previously frightened by the presence of the child, gradually become his friends.
The main theme of this work is the conflictual relationship between the innocence of children and the responsibilities of an adult.
Taking flight towards a world of fantasy and games, Peter has voluntarily chosen to avoid the passage from one to the other, remaining constantly segregated in an eternal childhood.
Nonetheless, this choice is not without repercussions:
it inevitably leads him to gradually alienate himself from the world, so much so that he begins to not understand the very simple actions performed by some children who are slightly older than him.
