The story
A company founded by Mimmo Cuticchio, heir to a dynasty of puppeteers. The premises in Via Bara all'Olivella house the theatre, with performances from the Carolingian cycle and original productions, and the workshop where puppets are built, painted and restored. Cuticchio is also one of the last cuntisti, oral storytellers who tell the same tales without puppets, by voice alone.
