L’orso felice
“Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was an Itch. And the itch longed for a good scratch. A long time ago.” Which came first: the bear or his itch?
Oren Lavie’s fairy tale seems to ask us for the solution to a riddle that echoes a famous paradox: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
In the pocket of his fur, a bear finds a note with a question—”Are you me?”—and three clues: I am a very kind bear, I am a happy bear, and I am also very handsome. So begins a simple yet philosophical story of a bear in search of himself and his own identity. He seeks answers to seemingly simple questions, navigating his journey through his connections with others—because it is only through our relationships that we can truly understand who we are.
Theater performance recommended for ages 3 and up, in Italian Language, by and with Elisa Canessa and Federico Dimitri.
