Saturday, May 27th, we are pleased to invite you to the outdoor Spring activities of the Hortus Urbis, the edible garden in the Appia Antica Park with solely ancient Roman plants.
At 11.00 am – “DIVENTANDO ALBERI: STORIA DI FILEMONE E BAUCI” (8 years onwards) | Workshop for kids, by Cristiana Pezzetta
Philemon and Baucis live in a village in the hills of Phrygia, where two strangers seek rest during their journey, but no one seems to trust them, and everyone bars their doors. We will get to know in depth about two protagonists and find out who the two travellers are, but above all we will discover the many transformations to which Philemon and Bauci’s welcoming gestures give rise. Then together we will also try to transform, to give new form to Philemon and Bauci’s words and bodies, building trees together and finding new meanings to their story.
