On summer nights, the theatre takes the stage in the ruins of the Convento do Carmo with the work ‘The Mountain Giants’ by Sicilian playwright Luigi Pirandello.

Between shadows and light, enchantment and cruelty, the story takes place at the foot of a mountain, a place between two worlds, between life and death, where the poet Cotrone, the Magician, and his group of outcasts meet Ilse, the Countess, and her troupe of failed actors.

In this meeting. Cotrone shows Ilse and her tired and disillusioned troupe the chaotic and vital joy of the theatre; the need for love, passion, mystery, as well as the grotesque and ironic dimension of life.
