Diffusione Fiaba hosted the UK storyteller Sarah Lloyd-Winder for a conversation on one of the most mysterious characters in fairy tales: the witch.

It is an alternative analysis of the figure of the witch in fairy tales: no witch hunt in traditional stories, but the transmission of a wisdom that can free from the chains imposed by morality, especially Christian morality, and by patriarchal societies.

- "The Green Woman", UK fairytale told in English by Sarah Lloyd-Winder (56'20'')
- "La Storia di Caterina e la sua Sorte", Sicilian fairy tale told in Italian by Elena Asciutti, source "Fiabe Siciliane" by Laura Gonzenbach (1h20')
