Corteo, which means “cortege” in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality. .

Spettacolo ufficiale della Città di Venezia TITIZÉ – A VENETIAN DREAM – City of Venice’s official show “Our clownery has always been intimately linked to tradition and has echoes of the language of the Commedia dell’Arte. We produce shows in which we immerse multidisciplinary performers in rarefied universes where wonder is sometimes naive, sometimes ingenious, sometimes surreal. Reflections in the water, the hazy blur when the clouds descend lower and lower, and the mythical game of masquerade that reminds us of cloaking in order to reveal oneself and then reveal oneself again: the three magical movements that magicians and shamans know and have passed down. There will be the night and its madness, the antics of jesters, objects that levitate, acrobats that fly, surreal rain and a continuous recreation of impossible balance. There will be traditional characters that in a kaleidoscopic game will multiply, split, dismantle and reconstruct. There will be Venice with all its splendour, its atmosphere, its poetry and the mysteries that inhabit it.”

Bianco su Bianco is a delicate and intense show that arose from the desire of the main creators of two Olympic ceremonies to return to an artistically intimate and small-scale dimension. It tells the story of Ruggero and Elena, of the young man’s difficult childhood, of the power of friendship that enables him to weather the storm and of the bond, as magical as it is mysterious, that is love, which will sustain them both as they scale one of the highest of mountains. It is a show where the two performers-actors-acrobats-clowns dialogue with a sophisticated and atmospheric universe made up of lights and sounds: a technology developed for the great forest of light that surmounted the Olympic stadium in Sochi and which, downsized for use in a theatre, becomes a further and impalpable performer in the show. Delicate, crystalline music accompanies the story of life and hope of this entertaining, fantastic and rather surreal couple. «We are creating a new show that plays –in keeping with our very own approach to storytelling– on the balance between a sweet and nostalgic form of absurd. Regardless of the simplicity and bareness of the theatrical apparatus, ours is a surrealist universe, somehow fiercely […]
