The Teatro delle Briciole in Parma has a varied programme of shows for both young and old. The company began in 1976 in Reggio Emilia and moved to Parma in 1979. In 1981, it opened the first resident centre in Italy of production and research for children’s and youth theatre and four years later moved to their current home, which is situated in the Ducal Park of the city. Since 1992 the Micro Macro Festival Association, in collaboration with the Teatro delle Briciole, has organised an international show - a unique experience in Italy dedicated to children’s and youth theatre.
