How can two bare hands and wooden eyes tell a story? Bring to life to a noisy dog, two tap dancers, a cow with food problems and many other characters ready to entertain young and old alike on a small colourful stage? The answer lies with the brilliant Dutch artist Lejo, who has been enchanting families all over the world for thirty years with his wordless shows, full of music, humour and tenderness, in which he creates endless adventures with just his bare hands.

In case of bad weather, the show will be held in the Church of Santa Maria dei Battuti
