The Libera Accademia di Pittura, in collaboration with the Cooperativa Edificatrice di Muggiò and with the support of the Comune di Nova Milanese along with the Comitato Genitori of the Istituto Comprensivo Margherita Hack, offers an afternoon with the Befana featuring an exciting show produced by "Teatro Magico", "Clap", and the magician Edwyn.
THE LEGEND OF THE DANCING YETI
A journalist and television owner announces the existence of a dangerous creature living on Mount Alto: the Yeti. He hires a famous photographer named Jack to capture photos and videos of the Yeti for an exclusive news broadcast. Jack agrees to the well-paid job. During his journey, Jack meets Zalis, a woman who lives in harmony with nature and is considered eccentric; she predicts the future using leaves from the forest. The only one aware of the Yeti's existence is an old woman residing on Mount Alto, who keeps the secret from Jack. Her grandson, Mariolino, ventures up the mountain to alert the Yeti. The old woman asks Jack for help to find Mariolino. After discovering the Yeti and capturing its images, Jack faces the risk of falling into an abyss. Following Mariolino's suggestion, Jack calls for the Yeti's help by singing the legend's song. The Yeti saves him, and out of gratitude, Jack keeps the secret and gives up his reward. The show conveys the values of friendship and respect for others.
