IL COLORE ROSA (THE COLOUR PINK) is a dance-theatre performance for children 5-13 and their families. Colour as a metaphor is at the center of the show; we use it to address themes of growth, identity and gender and, above all , the need every child has to create his or her own space, a place where they can accept themselves simply for what they are, independently of stereotypes. As a society, we continue to give little girls toys, purses, shoes all inevitably pink (and only the one saccharine shade), whereas we think that for little boys pink is a color to be avoided, to be afraid of, to be negated. But who says pink is for girls and blue is for boys? Is the sky masculine or feminine? And water? Is it masculine? feminine? Mountains? Storms? The stars? Trees? Historically, pink was actually considered a male colour. It is a rich colour with a series of shades which are difficult to imitate or reproduce: because every pink is unique and everyone should be free to be pink in his or her own way.

> The performance is going to be represented also in English and French
