Compagnia Finzi Pasca

La Verità - Aix-en-Provence
2017-12-20 - 2017-12-22 | Grand Théâtre de Provence, 380 Avenue Max Juvénal, Aix-en-Provence, 13100, France
« The language of acrobatics, of physical theatre may easily conquer a territory where it is neither night or day, where light doesn’t touch reality but designs it, invents it or reinvents it. The language of the acrobats titillates our unconscious, making us see inner landscapes that appear truer than reality. Dali’s landscapes are set during night or day? The answer: neither, Dali’s images belong to another dimension, the dimension of dreams.» Daniele Finzi Pasca

Luzia - Costa Mesa
2018-02-21 - 2018-03-25 | OC Fair & Event Center, 88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA, 92626, United States
“When the Cirque du Soleil approaches creators it asks them to venture into new scenographic and narrative territories. (…) We started from stereotypes… in order to overturn them. Ubiquitous slowness? We replaced it with speed – that of the Tarahumara, a Mexican people who live in the mountains and can run up to 200 kilometres non-stop, barefoot or wearing light sandals. Speed thus becomes an interesting element in circus language too, with its quest for extreme performance, thanks to magnificent acrobats and gymnasts drawn from around the world. For us, then, Mexican people display a great physical and spiritual capacity to go beyond incredible limits.” Daniele Finzi Pasca

Requiem Verdi - St. Petersburg
2018-02-22 | Mariinsky Theatre, Theatre Square, 1, St Petersburg, 190000, Russian Federation
“We were having dinner with Maestro Gergiev on the opening night of Aida last year, when Julie came up with this idea that we are now bringing to life a year later: to tell a story of lightness while navigating the emotion-filled waters of this extraordinary score, and to have a blindfolded choir and a child suspended to a myriad of light bulbs, flying high above the heads of the soloists, over the orchestra pit, and into the dreams of the spectators.” Daniele Finzi Pasca

Corteo - Kingston
2018-02-26 | Rogers K-Rock Centre, 1 The Tragically Hip Way, Kingston, K7K 0B4, Canada
“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.” Daniele Finzi Pasca

Bianco su Bianco - Lugano
2018-03-10 - 2018-03-14 | LAC, Piazza Bernardino Luini 6, Lugano, 6900, Switzerland
«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 serene, a self-reflecting form of theatre, where actors use the proscenium to engage in a dialogue with the audience, where illusion and tricks are always disclosed at the end, where we laugh and are moved, where the clowns do not play the fools, but rather embody the frailness of losing heroes. »Daniele Finzi Pasca

Per te - Bogotà
2018-03-16 - 2018-03-26 | Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogotá, Cra. 7 #22-47, Bogotà, Colombia
“Stage gutted, technicians and actors move like cats in the dark as they get ready, slowly immersing themselves in the story. And it will be the story that little by little envelops the spectator, the story of a book given as a present, of a garden to build, of a fight that we all, sooner or later, will have to experience and face. Julie believed that everyone should try to build an inner garden to take shelter, to welcome those whom we love, those who got lost, and those whom we would like to discover.
So now we are going to tell this story, with a bench and a garden. And there will be the fragility that each of us defends with shells and armours. The lightness of the memory of her laughter, her booklets full of notes and calculations, her advice and her dreams.
The mission of each life is to build an inner garden where we may take shelter, where we may welcome those we love, those who have lost their way, those whom we would like to meet in intimate and reserved surroundings. We have often told stories confined to closed spaces, imagined in the secret box we carry on our shoulders, where we create imaginary dreams and journeys.
This show was written for people who sow seeds which become trees, who design open spaces that invite reflection, that calm the soul.” Daniele Finzi Pasca

Aida - Saint Petersburg
2018-03-20 - 2018-03-21 | Mariinsky Theatre, Theatre Square, 1, St Petersburg, 190000, Russian Federation
“Aida is a very personal opera in which all the characters are victims of their own actions. Everyone is always ready to cry “war, war…” but nobody thinks and nobody looks for other solutions. We are made not of water, but of gasoline. I hope that in this production of Aida we will succeed in recreating a powerful representation of the realism and madness that is alive in us all.” Daniele Finzi Pasca, June 2011
