Fables of Wisdom, this is the title of the theatrical event organized, once again, byTeatrini Association, for the eighteenth edition of The Sensitive Scene, theater review for the younger generations, curated by Giovanna Facciolo's artistic director.
Eight shows will be represented atBotanical Garden every Saturday and Sunday until November, inspired by the masterpieces of children's literature and transformed into “itinerant” theatrical texts, which will take place in a natural and magical set, immersed in the wonders of the Neapolitan Botanical Garden.
Some shows are the same as thespring edition but there are some surprising news, starting from the first staging planned by the title The fables of wisdom, from which the theatrical review takes its name. Another novelty provides for the representation of a double show: that of 10:30, which will take place on a stage behind the castle of the Orto; the second, at 11:00, will be an itinerant theatrical journey in the various spaces of the Garden.
