Voltcandelomachia is a modern fairy tale with great symbolic and allegorical content.
It tells the story of a memorable battle that took place hidden from human eyes: the one between candles and light bulbs for the power of night light.
Classical motifs echo slightly in the background, recalling the famous Battle of the Mice and Frogs, but the story aims to represent the incessant struggle between the modern and the past. Light bulbs, with their awkward functionality, represent the efficiency of a present that too often leaves no room for feelings and traditional values; the candles, in their fragile and ancient guise, represent a recent past from which values and lessons can still be drawn.
The dense and moving tale is fundamentally aimed at a young audience.
With great ease, the children will identify with its protagonist, Wick, a young candle who listens to the story of the night of the battle from the voice of his legendary grandfather Candle.
