Chain Reaction is a project supported by the MiC – Ministry of Culture, of which Trallallero is a founding partner alongside five other Italian festivals with an international focus and Assitej-Italia, which since 2020 has been developing and promoting international initiatives and partnerships in theatre for the younger generation.
