Buchettino

Presented by our Associate Artists Societas.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest pieces of children's theatre ever made, Chiara Guidi's classic Tom Thumb (Buchettino) has only once been seen in the UK, to huge acclaim. Gulbenkian Arts Centre is enormously proud to bring it back as the first presentation of Associate Artists Societas.

In the dimness of a large wooden bedroom, the Storyteller welcomes you and invites everyone to lie down on small, wooden beds wrapped up ready for a bedtime story.

The Storyteller then sits in the middle of the room under a glowing light bulb. As her tale unfolds, the sounds of the story whirl around outside the room, seeping in and bringing Buchettino to life.

Buchettino is part of the bOing! International Family Festival 2023.

When: Sat 26 & Sun 27 Aug, 11.30am & 3.30pm

Venue: Colyer-Fergusson Hall
