But, for all things to work, we need a lot of scientific energy and to learn together what the rules are to become a Mini-man of science", actor Silviu Ruști tells the little viewers. The show lasts 40 minutes and is recommended for children over 3 years old.
On Saturday, December 21, the audience is invited to one of the most beloved performances of the Arcadia Troupe: "Santa's sleigh".

This time, from the Magic Puppet Cluj company, the one who will entertain the audience in the hall is the magician Florin Suciu, in an interactive show dedicated to the whole family.
