Theatre for the little ones, outdoors
In Brusson, in the Val d'Ayas (province of Aosta), summer brings Fairy Tales in the Woods, a series of theatrical shows for children and families set in the natural surroundings of the Brusson lake. The shows, curated by the Palinodie company, re-adapt classic fairy tales in a Val d'Aosta style, weaving the magic of traditional stories with the mountain landscape and culture.

The program alternates titles loved by children: Robin Hood, the archer of the woods; Aladdin and his magic portal; Hansel and Gretel; as well as original productions like "Archeo-Alice in Wonderland", linked to the MAIA archaeological project, and "Méchantes - Bad Girls".
