The Compagnia Teatro del Vento presents a comedic storytelling play written and directed by Chiara Magri, starring Alessandra Ingoglia, with set design by Lando Francini and Sofia Filippi.
The show tells stories of curious children with hearty laughter, quick minds, and well-honed wit. Every evening, a patient mother gathers the pieces lost by Giovannino as he wanders about—a distracted child who finds himself looking at the world through happy eyes.
In a town full of dimwits, little Martin Testadura becomes a pioneer in the search for hidden treasures, while Lisetta, the perfect student, slips in inappropriate words between the math problems she solves in a flash and geography lessons—all while writing a Christmas poem and studying tadpoles.
The play presents the adult world as seen through the eyes of children in a comedic light, where the little ones find simple solutions to unsolved mysteries and, behind their irreverent way of speaking, hide a deep longing for affection.
“Mama’s Coconut” is a story that captivates the audience through the art of simple, direct storytelling. The body, the voice, and stage props—such as a blackboard that transforms into a princely balcony, a backpack full of school memories, and a versatile rag—give shape to imaginary characters and places.
