"The Invisible Tonino is the story of a childhood lie. The most ordinary, the most expected, the most repeated, but this time it has unexpected consequences. "No homework, no lessons!" replies Tonino to his mother, and the Lie appears beside him. She is a character, a participant, an instigator. Tonino, who doesn't lie, begins to use her, and she grows stronger and succeeds in fulfilling the cherished wish of every child who hasn't done his homework-to become invisible. "An invisible child cannot be tested!" And here begins Tonino's great adventure. How many times have we thought what we would do if we were invisible. How awesome would it be? How inventive would we be? And how happily invisible! And this is where the big question comes in: is there invisible happiness?

19.03, 10:30  - The stone flower
19.03, 11:45  - The stone flower

"We've all heard the expression 'children are our greatest treasure.' But what does 'true treasure' mean to our children? Children will usually tell you that their treasure, is what they have, not what they can do. It's sad, but it's true. From their earliest days, our children dream of and scratch at various "stone flowers" - expensive toys, expensive shoes, expensive clothes, expensive entertainment... In telling the old Ural tale, I have tried to give it not only a new look, but also a new meaning - a new meaning. Instead of dreaming of material things, watching this play, children will begin to dream of their own feats of their own creations, created with their own hands, with their own labor, bravery, perseverance and love."

- Mila Masovic-Nikolic
author of the play "The Stone Flower"

30.03, 19:00  - The bowler hat
"Man has always imagined that he chooses the hat, not realizing that it is the hat that chooses the man. The hat rides its owner's head, indifferent to what he mutters under his nose. How and why does a man chase his hat? How do people begin to exterminate their hats as cockroaches are exterminated. We will fall into the period of the bare head, the period of the change of hats... The hat is not only able to express all the vicissitudes of human life, but also to delineate with the greatest veracity the turmoil of an entire epoch. The creation of a performance based on the novella "The bowler hat" is a challenge and an opportunity to enter that universe that is Radichkov and in which time looks back. It will be a tragicomic play in which the absurd and the grotesque will blow up the traditional order of things to show the pathology of social relations, the bitter truth of the doom of the individual, of the depersonalized and the man who disappears into the things."
