Popalinda in the kingdom of Imagination

A theatre–dance show for the whole family. Popa and Roberto embark on a magical journey through a suitcase and mysterious hats: they sail through canals, enchant the goblins, and have a picnic with dinosaurs. Each hat is a gateway, and every object opens a magical world. They discover that the true kingdom lives in imagination – a place where play, dreams, and friendship are the real compass.
