"MORMOLIS" ("Mugnog") by Rainer Hachfeld, a story about two children, Manda and Ricky, who are spending their summer holidays with their two aunts. Looking for something interesting to do, they will find a box which they'll name "Mormolis", and treat it as an alive person, as children always do. However, Mormolis is a "person" a bit out of an ordinary. It says things that adults can hardly digest, because it shakes the very fundaments of "how a child should be brought up and what a child should do". "Mormolis teaches our children to become free and responsible citizens. It teaches them to be disobedient to autocracy, to resist to the pressure of authorities. And all this in a cheerful and kind mood, with a smile, without sarcasm and insult, but only with an innocent look and mind of a child. With simple and naive questions posed to the twisted logics and silly habits of adults."

- "THE STORY OF THE SEAGULL AND THE CAT THAT TAUGHT HER HOW TO FLY", a theatrical adaptation of a story by Luis Sepulveda, about Zorba, the cat, who brings up a baby seagull left in his care by its dying mother. A very touching story with an ecological message which speaks about love, respect of differences and solidarity. Performed by actors and puppets, it is directed in such a way that it makes the children in the audience active participants. Also, it includes live music and songs.
