The Fairy Tales of Winterland
Every winter, in the magical Piazza Grande, an original fairy tale comes to life, transporting the audience to the enchanted world of Winterland. These are stories of light, courage and hope, designed for young and old alike, which transform the square into a place where imagination and reality meet.
Each story comes to life thanks to spectacular video-mapping projections created by eclipse on the façade of Palazzo Marcacci, transforming the historic building into a stage of light and magic.

The star fishermen

Her act of hope will draw the whole town into the most magical star-fishing adventure, reminding us that even the faintest light can shine once more

A hug of stars
by Davide Grampa
A fairy tale that invites us to rediscover the value of genuine relationships: to look up from our screens, reach out to others and communicate more. A story that celebrates small acts of kindness, which have the power to bring people together and change the world.

In the heart of time
by Davide Grampa
Mastro Elia, il vecchio orologiaio di Locarno, ascolta il battito del tempo e dei cuori della città. Quando tutti iniziano a correre senza più fermarsi, decide di bloccare le lancette della torre un minuto prima della mezzanotte. In quel silenzio sospeso, la città riscopre il valore del momento presente e del tempo condiviso.
