The program

The shows will take place in two time slots: 09:30 and 11:00.

18 March - 5 April 2023

  • Arthur and Merlin. Merlin is a great master gifted with great wisdom but also a bit bungling, in fact having been born at the wrong end of time, he never knows if events have already happened or have yet to happen. Arthur, on the other hand, is a special child, orphaned, destined to become the king. Recommended age 5-10 years.

12 - 30 April 2023

  • An ugly duckling. From a brood of ducklings there is one very particular one, different from the others because it is grey, big and awkward. Although the mother tries to accept him, the others reject him and for this reason the ugly duckling runs away until he arrives at a pool of stagnant water where he sees a group of beautiful swans who welcome him. Reflecting himself in the water, he realizes that he has become a beautiful swan. Recommended age 5-10 years.

10 - 31 May 2023

  • Without cat or boots. The old miller's cat destined for the youngest son turns out to be a precious and irreplaceable resource.
