Sassolino is a theater and music show about the Holocaust, inspired by the illustrated book of the same name written by Marius Marcinkevicius, published by Caissa Italia.

It is the summer of 1943. Eitan and Rivka play with their yellow kite, the only one that can still fly free. All around is the Shoah.
They are in Vilnius, Lithuania, but could be in Warsaw, Berlin, Paris. Or in Rome. When everything seems to be pain, a pebble brings a message of friendship and hope.

From an idea by Giambattista Giocoli, written and directed by director Bruno Cappagli, the show features two narrators who, in addition to telling the story, play the two protagonists Rivka and Eitan.

With them a musical quintet, directed by Giambattista Giocoli, which gives pathos and depth and, on a dramaturgical level, tells how music can be a cradle of peace in some highly dramatic moments.
The music performed in the show is by Arnold Schoenberg and Darius Milhaud and Kurt Weill, composers of Jewish origin.
Music flies, in their expressive fullness, like a kite in the sky of the human soul.

Inga Dagilė's beautiful illustrations act as a poetic corollary to this poignant story of love and friendship.​
