There is a time of the summer when stories take voice from a puppet and the square becomes theater. This is the spirit of Sirmione in Scena, which for 26 years has enlivened summer evenings with shows, workshops, music and fun for young and old.

A figure theater festival conceived and curated by the Centro Teatrale Corniani, a family of puppeteers for generations: passionate custodians of an ancient tradition, but also promoters of new creative energies that keep this precious cultural heritage alive and current.

For the 2025 edition, Sirmione in Scena offers 4 puppet-making workshops and 4 performances, for a summer of imagination and participation.
