Theatre for young audiences is responsible for<br />
supporting this growing process by means of<br />
providing hints and maps towards knowledge and<br />
self-knowledge. At the same time and for the same<br />
reasons, theatre must listen to and learn from<br />
childhood – past and present, others’ and own<br />
childhood – its genuine ability to get up for the<br />
umpteenth time after the last fall. That concept<br />
of beyond mentioned at the end of the first<br />
sentence in this article. To take your first steps,<br />
chasing and catching someone, brand new roller<br />
skates… are true risk activities. Girls and boys<br />
teach us how to continue attempting everything<br />
time and again, and not to surrender to such<br />
attempts. Childhood and art – and also theatre and<br />
literature as a part of it – are genuine schools for<br />
resilience that should keep interpellating, listening,<br />
arguing and counter-arguing to each other, in a<br />
spiral relationship of past, present, and future<br />
connections, through time and space.<br />
