* WIDE EYES“Wide Eyes” is at the core of a co-production project being developed within the framework of the European project Small size - Performing Arts for Early years. The “Wide Eyes” are the children’s big eyes, hungry for knowledge and ready for amazement. We believe that the adults’ eyes should be like the children’s, especially the eyes of the artists.Starting from this common suggestion, the groups of artists worked on and developed this idea. After two meetings, the different partners of the European project started to create 15 different shows. The shows highlight the differences and the similarities in the distinctive elements and methods of artistic research and productions. During Visioni 2017, 5 of the 15 co-productions will be presented.
