What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival deliberately programs performances for narrow, often overlooked age brackets, toddlers, kindergarten children, and neurodiverse or blind young audiences, rather than treating children's theater as one broad undifferentiated category

02

The mystery stays covered

Running workshops and seminars for theater professionals alongside public shows gives it a dual role as both audience-facing festival and industry development event

03

The city starts moving

Because it runs only every other year, each edition tends to carry a larger, more concentrated lineup than an annual schedule with the same total budget could sustain
