Pupi & Pini: I racconti di Sibylla

“Pupi & Pini” returns in 2025, the street and puppet theatre festival dedicated to families. All shows are aimed at a family audience. The common thread of the festival is the strong link between children's literature and live performance, with many artists known for their talent and professionalism in the scenic arts, from traditional oral tales to novels, classic fairy tales to contemporary texts.

The second event will be held on Monday, 7 July at 9:30 PM at Parco Hemingway in Lignano Pineta with I racconti di Sibylla, a puppet and shadow theatre performance featuring puppets and silhouettes.

Directed and written by Luana Gramegna
with Enrica Zampetti
Produced by Zaches Teatro and Straligut Teatro

A quirky researcher, inspired by the passionate 17th-century naturalist, adventurer, and painter Marie Sibylla Merian, roams the forest armed with tweezers and a flashlight. She investigates, studies, and catalogs insects, plants, and mysterious presences, bringing to life traditional fairy tales interwoven with her personal experiences.
Thanks to the magic of puppet theatre and a captivating interplay of sounds and voices, the tale of Little Red Riding Hood comes to life, revealing its deepest and most symbolic meanings.

Free admission.

Event organized by the Municipality of Lignano Sabbiadoro in collaboration with the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, the Spiaggia Viva Cuore Consortium and the Library of Lignano Sabbiadoro. Artistic direction of the Teatro del Drago in Ravenna.
