On November 1st, Teatro Doglio transforms into a true school of magic. A two-hour immersive experience featuring potions, mandrakes, owls, challenges to overcome, mysterious creatures, and settings to explore. Because this year, at Halloween, magic isn't just for looking at: it's for experiencing.
What if, for one day, you could actually enter a magic school?
On Sunday, November 1st, stepping through the doors of Teatro Doglio will mean leaving Cagliari behind and entering an extraordinary universe, where fantasy comes to life and every corner hides a new surprise.
The School of Magic – Halloween is coming to Teatro Doglio , organized by Palazzo Doglio in collaboration with Seconda Stella, inspired by the magical imagery that has made entire generations dream.
But forget the classic Halloween.
Here, there will be no audience or stage to observe from a distance. The participants themselves will become protagonists of the story , walking through completely transformed spaces for two hours, meeting characters, exploring settings, and undertaking magical trials and quests.
A world to explore, where every space hides something new: an alchemist's bench, a greenhouse populated by mysterious mandrakes, live owls, skill tests, a golden sphere to capture, divination, and laboratories. And, of course, young wizards ready to accompany participants on this adventure.
Two hours inside the School of Magic: the adventure begins at the entrance
The Halloween Magic Experience will begin even before you walk through the school doors.
Cloaks, scarves, and wands will help transform both adults and children into aspiring magic students, while sets, characters, and performances will gradually guide them through the experience. There will also be the opportunity to immortalize your entrance into this fantastical universe with a souvenir photograph.
From that moment on there will not be a single scene to watch, but an adventure to experience first hand, step by step .
You can visit the alchemist's bench and prepare a special antidote potion among vials, mysterious ingredients, and steaming cauldrons; enter the magical greenhouse and try your hand at mandrakes; encounter an owl accompanied by a professional falconer; take on tests of skill and attempt to capture a lightning-fast golden sphere.
And again, a large crystal ball will introduce the world of divination, while itinerant characters will appear along the way, surprising aspiring magicians and accompanying them from one experience to the next.
You don't attend a magic school: for two hours you become part of it .
Four groups, four values: what will your destiny be?
The journey will continue inside the Doglio Theatre, where four long tables will welcome participants, dividing them into four groups.
Courage, ingenuity, ambition, loyalty and friendship : each group will have its own values and new tests to face.
The bravest will try their hand at carving pumpkins and creating protective lanterns; the ingenious will discover the secrets of calligraphy among quills and ancient alphabets; the ambitious will make wax seals and potion labels, while the others will bring to life spine-chilling stories alongside a storyteller.
But it's Halloween. And in a magic school, nothing can go exactly according to plan.
At the height of the experience, something unexpected will shake the school : the lights will change, smoke will fill the theater and a mysterious creature resembling an enormous snake will appear among the tables, the protagonist of a spectacular contortionist performance.
A surprising twist, part of a journey designed to let both adults and children experience the thrill of truly finding themselves in a magical universe.
Because who hasn't dreamed, at least once, of receiving their own letter to magic school?
On November 1st, at the Doglio Theatre, that dream will come to life.
This year, Halloween isn't about watching. It's about walking, discovering, playing. And above all, living.
Are you ready to discover your magic?
