A concert-performance in which electronic music, contemporary fairy tales, sculptures, and artificial voices merge into a single visionary ritual. Wolves, foxes, wild boars, crows, and other creatures born from the words we use every day to describe our flaws parade across the stage. Amid hypnotic bass lines, live trombone, and surreal tales, the animals come to life and speak of human vices, obsessions, and fragilities. A poetic, ironic, and merciless journey, suspended between figure theatre, electronic concert, and popular imagination. The Electro Fiabe do not teach, do not judge, do not save: they show. And they leave it to the audience to recognise themselves in the beasts.

National premiere and co-production with Ass. culturale Ultimo Punto.
Recommended age: +6 (afternoon show), +14 (evening show).

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?

Recommended age: +16

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.

Suitable for the whole family.

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.

OFF show.

Amidst the ruins of a city, a crowd seeking refuge gathers for a moment's respite. A blanket, a bowl of soup, a piece of bread… and memories of what once was, what is and of what will be.
A timeless story. A political and poetic statement. A tribute to the courage of those who have left their homes in search of a new place to live. There are many of us, and there will be many more. Don't forget to bring your piece of bread.

A real celebration that draws in children and adults alike in a paroxysm of bubbles, sarcasm, and audience interaction. Bubbles, music, and razor-sharp jokes are the ingredients of an unforgettable show.

OFF show. Recommended age: +8.

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.

Preview. Suitable for the whole family. 

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.

Performance with limited capacity and on-site booking. Please go to the location listed in the programme. Access will be managed from 30 minutes before the performance starts.

A wordless puppet performance that blends mechanics, engineering, and storytelling.

A visually rich and surprising performance, full of hidden rooms, catapults, twists, and handmade wooden characters.

OFF show. Recommended age: +6.

Poubelle is a little garbage bag who has always dreamed of being a star — but how can one escape the destiny of things? A garbage bag is, and will always be, a garbage bag. In this highly comic and barely tragic tragicomedy, Poubelle will come to accept his fate without ever giving up, because he knows that in life, if you miss the train, there will always be another garbage truck to pick you up.
