What is a Tiny Tale?
It’s a short original story that will be performed in front of your eyes, staged to entertain young children.
Moving our bodies to the rhythm of an original soundtrack, we communicate through our actions and expressions without words, making it the perfect entertainment for audiences of all languages.
A unique and never before seen private theatrical performance, which offers moments of laughter, enchantment and fun.
How does it work?
Just tell us the date and venue and we will bring our bespoke scenography and set it up to create a new space for the story to unveil. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the performance.
Who is it for?
Tiny Tales are inspired by the daily life of young kids and we think they will be best enjoyed by children aged 2 to 5.
Older kids and adults are welcome to join the audience.
Available for private parties and schools’ bookings.
Find out more about our first performance, The Bedtime Game, available for bookings from March 2025.
Falling asleep has never been so much fun
It’s been a long day: we had fun playing, jumping, drawing, dancing… and now it’s time to brush our teeth, wear our pyjamas and go to bed. Is it time to sleep right? Or is it not?
And maybe something else is happening in that tiny kid’s bedroom… and we can just keep playing?
The Bedtime game is a show aimed at young kids who love to laugh, play, dance and would never stop.
Even when it’s time to sleep!

In order to set up our scenography and create the perfect atmosphere, we need access to an electrical socket and a room where the lights can be dimmed and the windows darkened. We recommend that adults sit with younger children, to enjoy the performance together and to discourage the most enthusiastic viewers from exploring the stage area or taking possession of any stage items.
Set up / take down time: 30 minutes before the performance to set up and another 30 minutes after to clear the room.

Tiny Tales’ story is the story of two mums, both from Milan, who met in Zurich and decided to turn their passion for children’s stories and music into something new.
Here is who we are and how it all started:
Hello, I’m Cinzia.
I am the mum of two girls and have worked as a nursery teacher in Milan and London for 20 years.
Music has always been an important part of my life: I graduated from the "Civic Music School Claudio Abbado" in Milan and decided to nurture this passion and include it in my work. I started organising music workshops with children and their families, using both the "Edwin E. Gordon" method (Music Learning Theory) and the use of voice and guitar.
Between 2022 and 2023 I collaborated with the association "Story Corner Segrate", creating animated stories in different languages. After this itinerant experience, I discovered a renewed interest in theatre performances for young audiences.
Tiny Tales is inspired by the strong belief that children’s stories are worth staging and that we can learn something new from an immersive experience.
Hello, I’m Laura.
I am also a mum of two girls and have worked in communications and events for luxury brands in Milan and London.
I have always loved books and since becoming a mother I have immersed myself into the wonderful world of children’s stories. Reading to my daughters every day, I rediscovered my passion for writing and started composing short tales inspired by our daily lives: I try to see the world through kids’ eyes, reflecting on their ability to find beauty in the smallest things and learn something new every day.
Together with Cinzia we have decided to turn these tales into a short performance. Thanks to her talent and passion on stage, the first show is now ready.
With Tiny Tales we hope to take you and your kids on a journey with us, taking the time to see everyday life through a different lens, always while having fun!
