As a music theatre organization and producer of work in various art disciplines, Pantalone operates in an ongoing pursuit of a poetic synergy between music, word and image. The company brings together artists from different disciplines for creations in all shapes and sizes - from a musical picture book to a multimedia children's opera or a visual concert. Pantalone tries to respond to the actual living environment and interests of children: a book, an object, a song. Sonorous texts sing, colourful images dance and the music tells stories. The equal treatment of music, word and image delivers performances with a strong poetic undertone and particular visual appeal.

Pantalone's source of inspiration and guidance is 1974 Nobel Prize winner for medicine and physiology prof. Christian de Duve, who pointed out that ‘the wiring of the brain is done by education. One should give babies, as of birth, touch, taste, music, colour and speech to develop and stimulate their neurological links.' That is why Pantalone produces music theatre for children of all ages, as well as their tutors.
