Fiabe nel Bosco
Outdoor theatre performances for families, between Lake Gover and the park of Castel Savoia in Gressoney-Saint-Jean
About Fiabe nel Bosco
Theatre meets the woods
Fiabe nel Bosco is the summer series of outdoor theatre performances for families in Gressoney-Saint-Jean, at the foot of Monte Rosa, in the heart of the Walser community of Valle d'Aosta. Every weekend, from July to August, classic fairy tales are adapted and staged outdoors, in charming natural settings.
Where and when
The performances take place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 5:30 PM and last approximately 45 minutes. The locations vary: the picturesque Lago Gover, nestled in the woods above the village, and the park of Castel Savoia, the historic castle that was the summer residence of Queen Margherita. In case of rain, the events move to the Wonplatz marquee at the same time.
Fairy tales that change every week
The theatre company presents a different title each weekend, drawing from the vast repertoire of fairy tales and reinterpreting them with humour: from the archer of the woods, Robin Hood, to Lewis Carroll's Alice in an "Archeo-Alice" version, to a gallery of wicked and mischievous characters. Performances designed for the little ones but capable of entertaining adults too.
An event for the whole family
Promoted by the Gressoney-Saint-Jean Tourist Office, the series is free and no booking is required: just bring a blanket to sit on. A simple and poetic way to experience mountain summers, combining the magic of theatre with the beauty of the woods and meadows of the Lys Valley.
