L'Opera dei Pupi
L’ Opera dei Pupi è un particolare tipo di teatro delle marionette che si affermò stabilmente nell’Italia meridionale e soprattutto in Sicilia tra la seconda metà dell’Ottocento e la prima metà del Novecento. I pupi siciliani si distinguono dalle altre marionette essenzialmente per la loro peculiare meccanica di manovra e per il repertorio, costituito quasi per intero da narrazioni cavalleresche derivate in gran parte da romanzi e poemi del ciclo carolingio.
SHOWS
Intense artistic and theatrical activity that, for a century now, the Napoli family has been carrying out in Sicily and around the world. The repertoire is rich: in addition to proposing performances with subject recitals according to the tradition of the ancient canvases, they also represent spread out scripts in which a more modern dramaturgy of the Opera dei Pupi takes into account the traditional rules of staging.

ITINERANT THEATER
The Company is equipped with a self-supporting stage structure that allows the performance of the show even in environments without a real stage. Even the proposal of shows performed "on sight" makes it possible for the public to realize not only the magic of the staging, but also the important relationships of interaction that are established between the various members of the company during the production of the scenic event.
