Sue Giles – President ASSITEJ International
World Day of the Performing Arts for Children and Youth is an essential event in the ASSITEJ Year and our organization encourages everyone to “Take a boy to the theater today” “take a girl to the theater today” – a reminder of the responsibility of the adults around children and young people to enable their artistic experience as much as possible.
Taking a child to the theater means reconnecting with the live show, with ideas and emotions, with the connection between people, and represents the defense of the rights of children and youth to access art and culture the freedom to express oneself freely. Paying attention to boys, girls and young people is very important, but it is even more important to listen to them and accept their need for change.
As the ASSITEJ Manifesto says, we believe that much more needs to be done to meet the obligations of all countries with respect to articles 13 and 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
This is especially important in light of the current pandemic, the conflict crisis unfolding in so many countries around the world and the urgent need for equity and equal opportunities for all boys and girls to live in a sustainable world, safe and prosperous. Art and culture allow us to imagine the world we want to create for and with our children and young people and therefore are crucial when taking actions to guarantee better conditions for our societies.
Now is the time when live theater and performing arts are needed more than ever to reaffirm that imagination can conquer fear. It is a moment in which the courage and conviction of artists who dedicate themselves to theater and performing arts for children and young people around the world can contribute to creating a space for liberation, catharsis and expression. of joy in boys, girls and young people around the world. We have witnessed such an ingenious and determined creation, such a great commitment and we are aware, from the examples of all our members, that the conviction to continue making theater and shows for people from early childhood to young adults has not been shaken. dissipated. We are a community that has grown stronger.
Children and young people have felt the impact of the lack of socialization, confidence and hope, and this has deeply affected their mental health; Everywhere, those responsible are taking notice and paying attention. Our young audience and participants need art, culture, theater and entertainment more than ever; those essential experiences that provide opportunities, broader points of view, make the impossible possible, fun and wonder, beauty and excitement; experiences that give meaning to a chaotic world and remind us of the links between human beings.
World Performing Arts Day for Children and Youth encourages adults to “take a boy to the theater today” “take a girl to the theater today” – wherever it may occur: on the street, in a building, on the screen, in their own rooms, through radio and books, through play and performance, through creation and production. We will be there, with what we can, to provide the magic that we have all been missing.

Yvette Hardie – President ASSITEJ International
ASSITEJ International has celebrated this day, March 20, since 2001, and since 2012, we have themed the day with the slogan “Take a child to the theater today.” This has been a call to action to increase access to the arts for children and young people and to draw attention to the responsibility of those responsible, sponsors and ticket buyers to ensure that young audiences experience the power of art. Arts.
However, in this turbulent year, in which the world as we knew it has stopped rotating in its old orbits, and in which so many things have changed for artists, for theaters, for festivals, for families, for schools and, of course, most importantly for children and young people, it seems that we can no longer say "Take a child to the theater today" with the same confidence as before.
This is not because the arts or theater are less important - in fact, if what our message writers say is true, they are more important than ever - but because the mechanisms for sharing this experience have had to change and adapt.
That is why, this year, on World Day of the Performing Arts for Children and Youth, I want to celebrate the extraordinary wealth of talent, creativity, resilience, adaptability, sheer tenacity and determination, that artists have shown to the world. Find new ways to reach out to your audience this year.
They have told stories live on Facebook with interaction via live chat; have created recorded or live-streamed interactive experiences for children to enjoy at home; they have performed theater in gardens, parks, driveways and on the other side of windows; They have turned living rooms and bedrooms into magical spaces that must be mapped and discovered, attracting the sensory imagination; have converted youth labs online and created online libraries of video theater resources; They have turned to everyday technology, such as the telephone, and have ventured to use Whatsapp, Tiktok and Instagram; they have sent theatrical experiences by mail, via postal packages, with creative tools galore; have supported learning at home; they have created about the pandemic and have devised and written the performances for when live contact is allowed again; They have moved their festivals, play readings, holiday camps and workshops online; They have pressured and defended, they have demonstrated and made requests; They have stayed together. They have developed community solidarity by taking art to the streets. They have demonstrated their innate creativity in many ways.
So, as we venture together into the “unknown future,” we ask everyone who cares about ensuring that children and young people have access to the extraordinary imaginative wealth that the arts can bring to them, to continue finding new ways to the performing arts and the young public meet again. Because one thing is certain, theater is more necessary than ever. In theater we reconnect, creating a space for healing. We reimagine, realign and resist. We remember and remember again our common humanity. And it is the artist in each of us that makes it possible.

Malaika Hlatshwayo
«Why is theater important in the lives of young people? First of all, theater is a mixture of most forms of entertainment. For example, there is acting, dancing, music and poetry. They all heal the soul in a different way for each member of the audience and for the performers. They also define theater. Theater helps us realize things that happen in real life in the most calm and interesting way. What I'm saying is that people are interested in different things. One may be interested in music and may find dancing "boring." The other may be interested in acting and find poetry complicated and difficult to understand. But when everyone comes to THE THEATER, each person can relate and relax, because Theater is not just about one thing, but about all of them. So the Theater takes into account everyone's interests. When we reach youth, we all have strengths and weaknesses. When someone speaks, everyone listens. When someone moves, everyone wants to see. When someone tells a story, everyone wants to listen. Theater helps young people heal from old wounds and traumatic situations. Theater can also help escape from the new reality that is Covid-19. Theater can help young people see their mistakes and fix them. THEATER screams ART and is the best way to help people realize and relate. Theater helps us escape from the horror of the streets and everything that comes with the street, such as violence, drugs, etc. THEATER is the voice of children who feel that they are not heard or that their opinions do not matter. Theater is a way to connect.

Luisa Crobelatti
«The theater is the place where we are seen, where we shout and are heard, where dreaming and being dreamed of becomes a habit of our daily life (everyday?). We young people yearn for the world and, beyond the fact that theater satisfies the need to live, it is through it that we look inside ourselves, in the mirror that is offered to us, and we recognize our environment, our self and the other, in deep and critical way.
Sometimes, last year, the theater was the escape valve for a world that is on the edge of the precipice, but at the same time, it was through it that we managed to see the thread of hope, even if it were the last, and We use it to show our cry for love, for help, and even to warn us of what our president was not able to warn us about: the real situation of this pandemic.
Art has saved us from many things, even from madness in the midst of declared chaos.
Only in theater can we narrate the past, dialogue in the present and build the future with our own voice and body.
"The future belongs to us."
Luísa Crobelatti is 20 years old and lives in São Paulo; She has been a member of Paideia since 2014 and dreams of being an actress performing in the World

Suzanne Versele
Time to look.
I can hit pause, rewind, fast forward.
Performances become moving pixels. I devour them.
Time to look for stories outside my window.
The neighbor, the neighbor's wife, the neighbor's dog.
The world is getting smaller.
We stagger. About the curves.
We make up stories for later.
Summer. The crisis takes a break. We breathe with her.
October. Beginning. Homecoming.
My mask is starting to itch. My stomach is starting to itch.
The theater floor empties and we burst into ideas.
We retain them. Touching, what was it again?
I want to sit next to you again in a red chair. To outrage me.
Culture is the best way to shout.
But what happens if you put a mask on him to wear?
We wish more than ever.
We recreate alternatives. Online, in the streets.
We recreate hope. More than closure measures.
Another council report becomes a piece of music.
Culture! Celebration! A bottle of champagne.
The cork is coming out. We are bubbling.
Ready to spit.
Suzanne Versele is a 23-year-old student at the director's art school in Brussels. Last year he performed in DROP BY DROP, a play about his experiences during his trip to Israel and Palestine.

Hinata Sakai
I really like theater because it is very fun to act and watch plays. When I act, my body and my heart unite unconsciously. When I watch a play, I get into the story and the characters' feelings reach me. If the theater disappeared, I would lose three quarters of my life and I would become discouraged; That is why, for me, theater is the power of life and is indispensable!
Hinata Sakai is 10 years old. He lives in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. He is a member of a regional theater company, “Our Town.” He first appeared on stage when he was four years old, performing in full force as Picota Duck.
