The event titled “The Wild Child / Peter Pan gone wrong” critically addresses child abandonment and the system’s indifference towards the most vulnerable, using two approaches. “The Wild Child” is a profound critique of how social structures, starting with the patriarchal family, contribute to the desolation of forgotten and unfortunate children. On the other hand, “Peter Pan gone wrong” offers a chaotic and humorous interpretation of J.M. Barrie’s classic, carried out by the successful team of Mischief Theatre, which incorporates their characteristic comedic style. Together, these works reflect on childhood and the adversities that children face in different contexts, combining seriousness and comedy to address delicate issues.
