30), the historic center of the village of Airola (Benevento). Among the courtyards of ancient buildings, the adjacent alleys and the central Piazza San Carlo, the theatrical route conceived and directed by the writer and director who creates "a journey in several stages - explains Melchionna - made of words and music, during which special souls will meet, returning home after having risked getting lost, with suitcases full of stories and emotions to share with the spectators.

During the two evenings scheduled for the festival, organized by the Airolandia Association and Vesuvioteatro, three courtyards, three different worlds, and just as many stories come together, as the promoters emphasize, "to form a magical triangle, steeped in art, within the enchanted village of Airola." The "stories," or original tales staged for the occasion, are kept in "suitcases" to symbolize both the topics covered and the time and space of the stage action. It begins with "Suitcase 1," with which spectators identify the staging of the play "Bruna in viaggio," written, directed, and performed by Alessandro Riccio, with musical performances by Toto Traversa.

The event continues, moving from courtyard to courtyard, accompanied by the festival's theme music composed by Andrea Bonetti, with "Valigia 2," a production of "Matrioska," written and performed by Cinzia Cordella, featuring Gabriele Guerra and musical contributions by Wena and Antonio Barberio. Finally, "Valigia 3," "Il valzer degli addiii," written and directed by Luciano Melchionna, features Enzo Colursi, Martina Galletta, Vincenzo Leto, Alessandra Muccioli, and Simona Seraponte. At the end of the three pieces (which will typically last up to 3 minutes each), the audience will converge on Piazza San Carlo for the final "Concerto incantato," a finale featuring music performed on stage by Wena, Milla, Luk, Spaghetti Casanova, and Doctor Nautilus.
