In April-May 1972, in twelve different towns in Abruzzo, Giuliano Scabia carried out a series of “actions” with young people; each lasted three days. The project, Perhaps a Dragon Will Be Born, was supported by the Teatro Stabile of I'Aquila and by other local cultural organizations. Both in the planning stage and in the organizational stage, these actions showed many of the elements that characterized Scabia's subsequent work: an open laboratory, an empty scheme, puppets, daily newspapers, posters, meetings, great images, etc.
