Impressions
«I had seen the work of PIANO already in 1992 at the World’s Children’s Theatre Festival in Antalya, Turkey, where I was invited to lead a workshop for children. It was such an impressive performance that immediately after the congress I tried to find more information about this fantastic theatre. Happily, I met the director Vladimir Chikishev in Lingen (Germany) during a Children’s Theatre symposium later in the same year and was able to express to him my deep respect for his excellent, highly artistic work with deaf children and young people. I have since seen their performances also here in Finland, where they were invited several times into Children’s Theatre festivals to give their inspiring performances. Every time they received – with good reason! – very praising feed back from the audience, press critics and judges. As an ex-officer of IDEA, with the longest possible career in the board (in EC 1995-2001; in GMC 2001-2007 and in AC 2007-2013) I can ensure that the work of Vladimir Chikishev and his PIANO theatre is a brilliant example of the possibilities, how theatre can bring all kinds of children and young people to work and create together.»
