Thanks to the partnership with the Ittiri Theater Company which for years, through refined but at the same time hilarious theatrical pieces, tells, cross-sections of Ittiri society, an excerpt from the theatrical comedy “Male chi si cheret issa mai remediu b'appat” will be shown in the ancient tanks ”.
