A Journey Through Drama History
Join Timmy the mouse and Luna the wise owl as they travel through time to explore the evolution of theater, from ancient Greek amphitheaters to modern stages. Timmy must solve the mystery of an old script while overcoming obstacles that threaten to end the journey. Will they discover the wisdom hidden in the stories of theater's past?
Timmy, the curious little mouse with grey fur and hair, stumbled upon an old script in his attic. The script was ancient and filled with riddles that hinted at the evolution of theater. Timmy was determined to understand the secrets of the script, but he didn't know where to start. He felt it was a life-or-death mission to uncover the theater's history. Suddenly, Luna, a wise owl, appeared and offered to help Timmy on this journey. Together, they would travel through time to solve the mystery.
Their first stop was an ancient Greek amphitheater, where the origins of theater began. Timmy was amazed by the grand stage and the actors in masks performing plays. But he soon realized he couldn't understand the ancient language. - How will we ever solve the script's mystery if I can't understand them? Timmy asked. Luna reassured him, explaining the importance of Greek tragedies in storytelling. This was just the beginning of their adventure.
Next, they traveled to medieval times and found themselves in a bustling town square. Timmy saw mystery plays being performed on wagons, captivating the entire community. But the crowd was too large, and Timmy couldn't see or hear properly. - I can't see anything, Luna! Timmy exclaimed. Luna encouraged him to climb onto her back to get a better view. Timmy realized how theater brought people together, but he still felt far from solving the script's mysteries.
Their journey continued to the Renaissance, where they encountered grand stages with elaborate backdrops. Timmy was fascinated by the innovative stagecraft and the works of playwrights like Shakespeare. However, the complex language and themes were challenging for him to grasp. - This is so confusing, Timmy sighed. Luna explained the significance of these plays in shaping modern theater. Despite the confusion, Timmy was determined to keep going.
Finally, they arrived at a modern theater, vibrant with technology and diverse storytelling. Timmy marveled at the use of lights and sound effects, but he felt overwhelmed by the fast-paced changes. - Will I ever understand this script? Timmy wondered aloud. Luna reminded him of the wisdom in each era's innovations. Timmy realized that each period contributed to the theater's magic, but he still felt uncertain.
Feeling defeated, Timmy considered giving up on the journey. He sat on the edge of a stage, looking at the script, which still held its secrets. - Maybe I'm not meant to understand this, he whispered. Luna perched beside him, offering comfort. She reminded Timmy of how far they'd come and the stories they'd uncovered. Timmy realized giving up would mean losing the wisdom they'd gained.
Then, Luna had an idea. She suggested they use the wisdom from each era to decode the script. Timmy's eyes lit up with hope. - Let's combine everything we've learned! he exclaimed. They worked together, piecing together clues from Greek tragedies, medieval plays, Renaissance innovations, and modern storytelling. Slowly, the script's secrets began to unravel.
With their newfound understanding, Timmy and Luna finally solved the mystery of the script. They realized it was about the timeless wisdom theater offers, connecting people through stories. - We did it, Luna! Timmy cheered. They returned home with a sense of fulfillment and a deeper appreciation for theater's role in society. Timmy knew he would share this journey and wisdom with others.

Uma Vida de Santidade
Pier Giorgio nasceu em Turim, em 1901, no seio de uma família da alta burguesia: seu pai, Alfredo, jornalista e dono do jornal "La Stampa", era amigo íntimo de Giolitti, que o enviou a Berlim como embaixador. Sua mãe era uma pintora famosa: Vitório Emanuele III comprou uma das suas obras, exposta na Bienal de Veneza. Na família Frassati, a fé não era bem "de casa"; não obstante, o Senhor soube abrir alas nos corações dos homens, dispostos a dar-lhe ouvido. Combater o sistema por dentro Pier Giorgio não se sentia à vontade na classe social onde vivia, nem na sua vida no lar, onde a fé era um elemento mais formal do que essencial. Passou sua infância com a irmã Luciana, mais nova de um ano; era a sua única confidente, uma vez que os contrastes com seus pais se tornavam cada vez mais evidentes: Pier Giorgio não era um excelente estudante, pelo menos até entrar para o Instituto Social dos Padres Jesuítas. Ao se formar, passou a estudar Engenharia mecânica, com especialização em mineração, para seguir de perto os mineiros, que, na época, eram considerados os mais explorados dos explorados. Infelizmente, não conseguiu concluir seu curso de graduação, em vida, mas apenas o título "honoris causa", em 2002. A sua prioridade não eram os estudos, mas a oração, a Eucaristia e a caridade. Por isso, o jovem preferiu ficar em casa, junto com a família. "Passava o tempo" a serviço da caridade Os contrastes, unilaterais, com o pai, não tardaram: seu pai Alfredo começou a definir o filho como "homem inútil", dizendo que “andava à toa” pelas ruas da cidade, frequentando pessoas que não estavam à sua altura. Por sua vez, Pier Giorgio era uma pessoa sempre sorridente, aceitava as repreensões de modo sereno, como uma eterna criança: assim, se comportava com o próximo necessitado, apesar de não agir da mesma forma com os jovens da sua classe; contudo, demonstrava a todos verdadeiro amor e participação nos sofrimentos humanos. Nos últimos anos de vida, Pier Giorgio Frassati participou, praticamente, de todas as Associações católicas, desde a Conferência de São Vicente à Ação Católica e à FUCI, e sempre prestava a sua ajuda e serviço aos mais indigentes. Empresa de Transporte “Frassati" Os amigos de Pier Giorgio zombavam dele, chamando-o Empresa de Transporte “Frassati", porque sempre visitava os "porões" dos pobres e os casebres da periferia de Turim, uma cidade de grandes Santos e intelectuais, mas também de tantos operários, pobres e excluídos as sociedade. O jovem Frassati levava de tudo às casas dos mais necessitados: alimentos, roupas, lenha, carvão, móveis, gastando todo o dinheiro que sua família lhe dava, que diminuía sempre mais. No entanto, Pier Giorgio se aproximava, sempre mais, da espiritualidade dos Dominicanos, a ponto de se tornar Terciário. Ao transferir-se a Berlim, teve a oportunidade de conhecer, pessoalmente, o Padre Karl Sonnenschein, o "São Francisco alemão", uma presença que o levou a se questionar sobre a possibilidade de ser sacerdote, uma ideia que Pier Giorgio deixou de lado porque achava que não tinha vocação. Contudo, o jovem continuava a ser feliz: deixava as ocasiões mundanas para ir à Missa; ao invés da companhia dos jovens burgueses, preferia estar com os pobres, que saciava, a sua sede de viver o Evangelho. Seria um erro pensar que ele era um tipo estranho ou isolado, pelo contrário, repleto da verdadeira vida, era um grande apaixonado, entre outras coisas, pela montanha, da qual era um entusiasta alpinista. Finalmente o amor ou, talvez, não Certo dia, entre um grupo de escaladores, Pier Giorgio conheceu Laura Hidalgo, da qual se apaixonou: um amor, que manteve oculto dentro de si, em seu coração, seja para "não colocá-la em embaraço", seja para não ser um ulterior problema para a sua família, visto que ela pertencia a uma classe social bem mais inferior: um sacrifício que poucos jovens, no lugar de Pier Giorgio, conseguiriam enfrentar. Ele, porém, enfrentava tudo com sorriso nos lábios, porque sabia, nas profundezas do seu espírito, que o verdadeiro amor era outro: aquele que o aguardava na sua iminente vida eterna, que, talvez, começava a entrever, chegando até a desejar o dia do seu nascimento para o céu, que chamava "o dia mais lindo de todos". No último período da sua existência terrena, Pier Giorgio fundou a "Sociedade de Tipos Estranhos", cujos membros, "desonestos e vigaristas", recebiam apelidos engraçados: o de Pier Giorgio era Robespierre. Estes tipos faziam excursões, contavam piadas, mas, acima de tudo, aspiravam à amizade mais profunda, fundada no vínculo sagrado da oração e da fé. Era uma verdadeira amizade cristã, em certos aspectos, profética para a maioria da associatividade leiga da Igreja, que haveria de vir. Morte repentina No dia 30 de junho de 1925, toda a família Frassati estava preocupada com a saúde da avó Linda, que veio a falecer no dia seguinte. Assim, ninguém percebeu que Pier Giorgio sentia uma profunda dor de cabeça, a ponto de não querer se alimentar. Precisamente ele, que era sempre tão bonito e saudável! No entanto, sua família percebeu isso no dia do enterro da avó, porque o rapaz nem conseguia levantar da cama. Mas, já era tarde demais: foi acometido por uma meningite fulminante, que ceifou a sua vida no dia 4 de julho, com apenas 24 anos de idade. Milhares de pessoas participaram das suas exéquias, sobretudo os pobres de Turim, que ele havia ajudado ou, até mesmo, apenas tocado com a sua vida repleta de Deus. "Não reconheço meu filho!", murmurou o pai, impressionado com a multidão presente. Assim, a sua tristeza se tornou ainda mais dolorosa.
