This is a fairy tale, and like all fairy tales, it begins with: ONCE UPON A TIME!

Once upon a time, there was a little boy. His name was Vincent, and he was a happy child. As in any self-respecting fairy tale, Vincent needs the help of a Fairy Godmother. Except that in our case, the fairy is a bewildered, bizarre, dreamy dancing rabbit named Rosi… Cuor di coniglio is a show for young audiences which, using light and poetic language, aims to be a hymn to the freedom to be different.

Through the surreal encounter between two seemingly irreconcilable protagonists, it speaks to us of the beauty that lies in fragility, of the need to overcome the fear of judgement. Of the urgency of breaking down the boundaries (physical and mental) that we often impose on ourselves and of the wonder of accepting and showing ourselves, most simply, for who we are.
