Kids Program by Coop
The Kids Program by Coop offers a rich calendar of activities designed for children: creative workshops, shows, and lots of fun experiences.
The novelty of this year is a space entirely dedicated to creativity — a charming transparent igloo set up in the heart of the Giardini Pioda.

23.11 - 14:00 | Der Postman - The Wandering Stable Circus
Kids program by COOP – Raiffeisen Pavilion
“Eccentric, poetic, delicate:
a letter carrier, a clown letter carrier.
By bike he goes, delivering letters. Good news and bad news, to those who are awake and those who are asleep, to those who are alive and those who are dead.
Perhaps he delivers or perhaps he does not deliver. Maybe he finds or maybe he doesn’t.
In a game of self-mockery, of pure healthy madness, of complicated selves in constant conflict with each other.
He waits for the right time: from the Swiss mountains with the mail in the mail, looking for the mail or is the mail looking for…
but what is he looking for?”
