Snack Time & Star of the Show: "Le Avventure di Pesce Gaetano"
Refuel with a delicious snack, then at 5:30 PM, experience national guest stars Giallomare Minimal Teatro from Empoli. Their hit show Le Avventure di Pesce Gaetano—written and performed by Vania Pucci, inspired by Samad Behrangi's Il pesciolino nero—features stunning sand drawings by Ines Cattabriga, digital animations, and tech magic from Giacomo Saradini, Saverio Bartoli, and more.
Imagine a wise Grandma Fish sharing tales of her 12,000 grandkids deep in the ocean. Follow Gaetano, a curious fish with a massive tail, born high in a mountain spring. Stargazing sparks his dream of adventure. With a brave leap into the waterfall, he journeys through streams, rivers, and seas—meeting scary foes like gray fish, crabs, herons, pike, and the glowing Lantern Fish, plus delightful friends like larks and goldfish.
This mesmerizing production blends live acting, digital puppets, and live sand art projected in real-time. A multimedia artist animates characters alongside the actress, while a sand artist sculpts epic scenes on the spot!
School Matinées continue the magic: Catch Le Avventure di Pesce Gaetano on Monday, February 2nd at 10 AM for preschool, primary, and middle school kids.
Organized by Cada Die Teatro with support from the MiC (Ministry of Culture), Regione Sardegna (Culture Department), Comune di Selargius, Città Metropolitana di Cagliari, and Comune di Cagliari.
