The history of the Stone Soup, source of inspiration for the show, transversal to different fairytale cultures, tells of a wayfarer who reaches a village and finds no hospitality due to the fear and distrust of the inhabitants. Only through an expedient will he be able to satiate himself. Suddenly a fire in the village square and, after having borrowed a pot, boils a river stone. Curiosity takes over from mistrust and soon all the locals want to add something to the secret ingredient that boils in the pot. In some cases the fairy tale ends with a party in which all participate cheerfully, in others however, the soup if you eat only the impromptu cook. In all the versions of the story, however, there is a common denominator: the traveler, as he appeared, leaves without explanation, without saying who he is. He simply resumes his journey and disappears even if he leaves a deep trace of his passage.

Through the use of objects and masks, the actor will interpret the different characters and lead them towards the festive final dinner.

During the days of the festival, also many appointments with workshops for families and children, readings, meetings. The complete program on the official website of the festival www.luccateatrofestival.it
