Electro Fiabe. Processione dei Cattivi Animali is a multimedia theatre performance that combines etymological fables, ritual illustration and live music. Eight words from the “moral” lexicon — such as rogue, swindler, thief, trickster — are explored through their etymological origins and transformed into anthropomorphised animals. Each creature carries a story that reinterprets wickedness as complexity, fragility and survival.

National premiere and co-production with Ass. culturale Ultimo Punto.

A human figure, inhabited by an inner urgency and intent on following the flow of its own thoughts, is enclosed within a greenhouse-cage that becomes a “gestational chamber” of the self. For this to happen, this figure must take time — an essential and indispensable element in every gestation. Is it possible to let oneself be crossed by that infinite tension, nourished by the contradictions of the human soul, which constitutes the essence of every existence?

Expo sculture in movimento (Exhibition of Moving Sculpture) is a collection of automated puppets from 5 continents, 7 small theaters, 7 distant and related places on the journey inside the cloister museum. Between the exhibition and the performance, the audience is invited into an ancient and surprising world of animated figures.

Manin and Manon amaze audiences with their skill: two incredible characters capable of performing juggling and acrobatic acts better than any human being. He is not only a juggler, but also a one-man band and a fire-eater; she is a tightrope walker and much more besides. When the spotlight comes on, the audience is drawn into a miniature fantastical world where everything seems possible and real.

La Strizzacervelli di Piazza (The Street Therapist) transforms public space into a place for sharing surreal and symbolic visions. Out of knots and questions, unexpected encounters arise: the performer listens and responds with gestures, words, and poetic actions. Between play and irony, our small everyday monsters begin to emerge, along with the possibility of rewriting, together, the stories that inhabit us.

Can beauty, art, poetry, and dreams, brought into the square and shared, inspire all of us toward even the smallest change? Can a work of art be a small piece of revolution, striving toward peace and the wonder of human coexistence, allowing us to glimpse it through the lens of childhood? These are the questions at the heart of Teatro dei Venti’s new work, a production for urban spaces based on Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Two figures suspended in space and time, trapped in the expectation of nothingness. A calm and visionary dialogue that recalls the absurdity of Waiting for Godot, lit by flashes of grotesque irony and disorientation. Intertwining their voices is a surreal radio DJ, broadcasting on the lysergic and irreverent frequencies of DK Radio. The result is a tragicomic journey, where the end turns into celebration: because even a funeral is an occasion to be celebrated.

A wordless puppet performance that blends mechanics, engineering, and storytelling. Set inside a medieval castle brought to life by intricate wooden mechanisms, the show follows the wedding of a king’s daughter disrupted by a sudden attack from the ancient crow-warriors, the Kuthi. A visually rich and surprising performance, full of hidden rooms, catapults, twists, and handmade wooden characters.

OFF show. Recommended age: +8.
