Once Upon a Time There Was Once

On Sunday, January 25 2026, at the Teatro Spazio Reno in Calderara, at 5:00 p.m., the family show Once Upon a Time There Was Once by Compagnia Binario Vivo will take the stage.

The story opens in a library like many others, with a man looking for a book that can help him overcome his fears. Can a book cure fear? A large book appears almost magically and puts to the test the skepticism of our characters, who will have stories “administered” to them like ancient medicines to soothe the ailments of the soul.
Every fear a story, every story an Italian region: the fear of the dark, of the ogre, and of loneliness — and the three antidote tales: Colapesce from Sicily, L’auciello Grifone from Campania, and Buchettino from Tuscany.

A magical journey in which the characters float between reality and fantasy, an imaginative voyage made possible only through reading.
An interactive narration animated by the ever-changing actors, who play the numerous and diverse characters in these stories.
