Arlecchino e Gli Acchiappafantasmi (Arlecchino and the Ghost busters)

Arlecchino e gli Acchiappafantasmi (Arlecchino and the ghost busters) is staged at the Teatro San Carlino with puppets by Francesco Picciotti, directed by Marco Ceccotti.

The show tells the story of the mayor Spregevolis Von Tirchis who, always in search of good deals, decides to build a waste dump above an ancient Austro-Hungarian cemetery.

In the cemetery, however, rest some ghosts who, finding their graves full of dirt and waste, decide to take revenge by persecuting and terririfying all the inhabitants of the city.

When the Chief of the Ghosts decides to conquer the beautiful Colombina, Harlequin's fiancée, he with his trusted friend Pulcinella and with the advice of the learned Balanzone, tries to defeat the ghosts with photonic blows, avoiding encountering the evil influences of the ghosts.

Puppet art meets thrilling comedy and fun is guaranteed for the whole family.
