01. nicaragua – Taller de Las Mariposas – 2001
Youth theatre play based on the book of the famous Gioconda Belli from Nicaragua.
With the performance Taller de Las Mariposas we want to combine a theater performance with a biology and handicraft lesson. Children are taught some environmental education as well as creative skills. With the activity, children are accommodated in an afternoon-filling program.
Teatro Ronda de Barro wants to make a permanent connection with the street children through which they are involved in more projects.
Welfare promotion: Schools in Nicaragua hardly give lessons that promote creativity. Teatro Ronda de Barro fills in a gap in the education system in Nicaragua.
