SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14

THE MATTER OF DREAMS - Aleph Theater
A poetic procession between reality and imagination
Actors and stilt-walkers, characters suspended between reality and imagination, transport the audience into a delicate, light and evocative experience. Diffused music, soft and enveloping, accompanies the parade, creating a dreamlike, suspended atmosphere. The light choreography danced on the tip of stilts, colorful balloons, and the glances and smiles of the actors transform the square into a place of shared wonder. "The Matter of Dreams" is a show capable of creating an atmosphere of wonder and poetry, where theater becomes a slight presence and the dream takes shape.
4 p.m.00 - Afternoon performance for children and families at Portici Arengario - Piazza Roma
ARLECCHINO AND COLOMBINA - Aleph Theater
A light and joyful homage to the tradition of Commedia dell'Arte
Through the cheerful and symbolic story of the colors of Harlequin's dress, children are taken on a playful journey to discover Commedia dell'Arte. The famous multicolored suit becomes the common thread of the show: each color tells an emotion, a quality, a small episode of his life made of cunning, naivety and great vitality. Next to him is Colombina, witty and intelligent, who dialogues with Harlequin alternating coquetry, romance and little jokes, involving the audience with lightness and complicity. Through funny situations, acrobatics and comic gags, the other masks and characters typical of the Commedia dell'Arte are also evoked: recognizable, exaggerated and funny figures that help children grasp, in a simple and immediate way, the different personalities. The show, with its lively rhythm, is designed to bring young children closer to popular theater in a natural and fun way, stimulate the imagination and create a festive moment, capable of involving spectators of all ages.
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15

BUBBLE SHOW - Incredibolle
Soap bubble show and imagination
Large and small soap bubbles are born, light and colorful, chase each other, transform, dance in the air like small magic and vanish, creating an ephemeral and enchanted universe. The show, with simplicity and wonder, creates an atmosphere of anticipation and surprise, inviting the audience to observe and wonder. Each bubble becomes a small dream that flies, reflects colors and tells of the beauty of light and fleeting things. A poetic and fun experience, suitable for all ages, where imagination takes flight.
