The Teatro del Canguro is a professional company that devotes itself to the theater for children, whose productions since 1980 are characterized by an original and modern language that privileges the use of the images and uses mixed techniques, from those traditional of the so-called ''teatro di figura'' (animate objects, rag dolls, outlines, Chinese shades, etc.), to the projections, to the mixings of lights and sounds, up to the 'teatro d'attore', inserted however in a particular dramaturgical context.
