“With the galloping pace of technology development, children have less and less insight into the objects that were used by their grandparents in their daily lives. The stories that our grandparents told us are woven into the things that we keep as memories of them. As we have woven into the objects our ancestors and their stories that they passed on to us, they gain importance and turn into family heritage, and some of them also represent part of the cultural heritage of an entire nation.

The show is interactive and introduces children to a dialogue with a time in which they do not live, but from which they can draw inspiration for creative creation and play with different materials and objects. With the help of her gnome assistants Z and V, Luna discovers what stories and objects she keeps in her grandmother’s chest. The play was created after a cycle of workshops that were conducted with different ages to gain insight into objects and stories that people keep as memories.”

The play is intended for children from 3 to 10 years old, to whom it brings objects from the everyday life of their ancestors closer, turning them into family and cultural heritage. Through dialogue with the past, children draw inspiration for creative work.

The performance is followed by a storytelling workshop “Items we keep”. It is recommended that participants bring at least one item as a memory of grandparents or special life moments.
