Hey you, little boy! And you, little girl, listen!

In theatre there is a place

where words that come from fables become actions

that do subtraction, division, addition and multiplication.

Just like in mathematics!

Actually, arithmetic operations and fables

have a great deal in common!

Which is your favourite? Choose.

Then you can decide whether to add, like in addition;

to remove, like in subtraction;

to repeat, like in multiplication;

or to distribute, like in division.

Take an action and carry it around: you can put it wherever you want.

At school? At home? On the street?

Search for a place. You’ve got one week.

Take one of the fable’s operations into the world.

Do it! Dive in! Something will happen.

Sneak some theatre in, wherever you are! Hide it!

Don’t tell anyone! Don’t let anyone see you, or notice you!

It’s a secret, and only you and I are in on it.

 

An action for the stage involving no more than twenty children from 6 to 10 years old

and excluding the participation of adults.

Duration 70 minutes.
