Itinerary
Born between the mid-nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, puppets and marionettes are part of the tradition and craftsmanship of Sicily.
Let yourself be carried away by the stories - which tell of valiant knights, ladies and sorcerers - taken from ancient novels and poems of the Carolingian era, represented in the splendid setting of the puppet theater in Syracuse, the city's reference point for art and culture.
At the end of the show there will be a visit behind the scenes of the theater to learn about the work that lies behind the curtain, the secrets and the figures who work there, to learn in detail all the work, dedication and passion that moves this tradition secular.
You will be led by the "puppeteers" to the places where ideas come to life, where the puppets are born and where the costumes are made, you will travel into the past listening to their stories, their tales and you will relive the deeds of the brave knights of the past.
A unique experience of its kind that will make you live a day dedicated to folklore and the Sicilian artistic and artisan tradition.

The show was amazing. The actors do everything - including the lighting and sound on the set and make the puppets.

Great show! It’s wonderful to see this art form kept alive. One of the most enjoyable things to do in Ortigia.

It was spectacular, well played and it gave us a feeling of how the public was entertained before the modern technology.

This was a great experience. Although it was in Italian, we were able to enjoy the show and follow the plot. Great fun!

Bello lo spettacolo, ma il dietro le quinte è stata un' esperienza fantastica. Bravo il ragazzo che ci ha fatto da guida.

Lo spettacolo è stato bellissimo! Bella sala piccola ed accogliente. Miei figli (7 e 10 a) ne sono rimasti proprio entusiasti dello spettacolo e volevano continuare a vedere altri episodi dell'avventura di Orlando. Le scene di combattimento veramente stupendi e coinvolgenti. Per i bambini era un pò soprendente la fine dello spettacolo che non ha portato una soluzione felice agli eroi positivi (come al solito). Che per me invece era bello - suscitava altre idee, ecc. Poi, ci porta a leggere la storia ;)
Il pubblico era composto sia di famiglie che coppie e persone singole di varie età e nazioni - se lo godevano tutti al massimo. Grazie mille al teatro e buona continuazione! Ci torniamo presto!
