On stage and in the shack, there are many creatures that come to life: puppets, puppets and silhouettes, personifying the real and fantastic animals that inhabit the woods. A show that is the result of a long artistic and artisanal work that Paola Rovelli and Dario Tognocchi have conducted using materials such as wood cloth and papier-mâché.
Red berry, our protagonist, is the last to remain on the tree hanging from the branch, the arrival of winter. His sisters, in fact, have already left for the mountains of Ambarabà,
conducted in the beak, by the small birds of the wood. Red berry instead has been left alone and will have to face all the difficulties that with the winter are about to come.
The scene, in addition to the puppet shack, contains a great book where some of the characters come to life, such as mice and birds. A show that is also an adventure within the seasons and therefore a path of initiation and growth. At the same time it is a show that invites you to reflect on the most current ecological themes: respect for the environment, knowledge of the elements of nature, love for the woods and animals.

The musicians protagonists of this concert, besides being wonderful tango performers for their training and for having collaborated with great soloists and having played in prestigious formations, are all great lovers of tango. This inevitably leads to the listener being enveloped by the passion and energy of this music and its unmistakable rhythm. Moreover, if for Piazzolla’s "Seasons" the original scores composed by Astor himself are used for his Cuarteto Tìpico, the other pieces have been transcribed and specially adapted by Andrea Coruzzi, so as to bring out the different sounds of each instrument, thus enhancing the phrasing and immortal melodic lines of these pieces.
20.30 - Patio
A -50
Show based on "Prepare a fire" by Jack London with Marco Ballerini
▶ Booking: https:///www.eventbrite.it/e/ticketing-il-freddo-gentile-a-50-841602183787
Today, very often, we say: "How cold is it this winter?!" even if the cold is not there.
We wrap ourselves up as if we had to cross the North Pole, even if we then spend little time outdoors and, as soon as we can, we sneak into shops, where the temperatures are almost equatorial. For us Italians, some cities are not cold at all; in others, however, the cold is at home. The real cold, few know it, few have really tried it. Minus 15? Minus 20? Minus 25? Yes, at these temperatures it is cold, it is true. What if we were at minus 50? Could we walk in the snow for eight hours at minus 50?
"A -50" is a story from the book "Prepare a fire" by Jack London, in which a man has to travel 45 kilometers in the forests of Klondike, the Yukon region, in north-western Canada. And to survive, he must know how to prepare a fire, and he cannot afford to put it out because otherwise he has only a few minutes to remedy.

FUORI VILLA
Villa Bernasconi - Cernobbio
from 10.00 to 18.00
SIGNED LUCHINO. The letters found by Luchino Visconti to Maestro Lorenzo de Paolis
Exhibition curated by Umberto de Paolis
Organized by the Municipality of Cernobbio on the occasion of "The four seasons of Villa Erba"
The cultural project, conceived and curated by Claudia Taibez with the collaboration of Umberto de Paolis and Marco Marchetti, provides for the creation of an exhibition focused on the exhibition of an epistolary collection of postcards and letters completely unpublished - recently found and guarded by the great-grandson Umberto de Paolis - addressed by Luchino Visconti, Count Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone and Carla Erba to Lorenzo de Paolis, cello master of Luchino between 1917 and 1924.
The correspondence, which covers a time span from 1917 to 1965, describes affectionate exchanges and moments of everyday life and allows you to deepen new and little-known aspects of the life and educational experience of Luchino before he became the famous director known to all.
