The event
The show brings to the stage the world of shoes from the best-known fairy tales: Cinderella's slippers, the boots of Puss in Boots, dancing shoes and magic galoshes.
An old cobbler loves telling these stories to his wife so much that he often forgets his work. When he has to finish the shoes for the next day, there seems to be no solution. As in every true fairy tale, a little elf named Leprechaun comes to help during the night, and through magic, stories and small spells the adventure leads the cobbler to Christmas Eve.
The cast is Gigi Palla, Gabriela Praticò and Simona Vitale. Adaptation and direction are by Gigi Palla, with original music by Alessandro Cercato. It is aimed at children aged 3 to 7 and is performed in Italian.
