Mimmo Cuticchio describes the workshop as a practical experience open to all, providing an opportunity to learn about the ancient art of puppetry and its adaptation to contemporary times. The workshop will focus on puppet manipulation, and participants will have the chance to interact with puppets, observe their movements, and learn about stage production. The theme of the workshop revolves around the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the cave with the remains of the Santuzza and the subsequent end of the plague that devastated Palermo. Cuticchio will use around forty specially crafted puppets and together with the participants, they will create characters and costumes and develop the story. Cuticchio emphasizes the importance of storytelling through cunto, an oral tradition still relevant today, and the workshop will culminate in a performance narrating the story of Rosalia.
