Liberamente ispirato al celebre romanzo di Luis Sepúlveda, "Insegnami a volare" porta in scena una storia di amicizia improbabile e promesse mantenute. Una gabbiana, vittima di una macchia di petrolio, atterra in fin di vita su un balcone dove vive il gatto Zorba. Prima di soccombere, l'uccello depone un uovo e ottiene dal gatto una promessa cruciale: non mangiarlo, prendersi cura di lui e insegnare al piccolo nato a volare. Con il sostegno di altri felini, Zorba affronterà questa missione straordinaria. Lo spettacolo, diretto da Valerio Apice, si svolge al centro di aggregazione giovanile di Spongano il 28 novembre alle 18. Ingresso a 7 euro, ridotto a 5.
