Compagnia Finzi Pasca

Nuda - El Ejido
2023-05-06 | Auditorio de El Ejido, Pl. Teniente Arturo Muñoz, 1, El Ejido, Almeria, 04700, Spain
“I had never felt so alone, slight, naked…”
Inspired by the novel of the same name by Daniele Finzi Pasca, Nuda, the new creation of the Company is a show full of mystery and amazement, where depths and abysses are in continuous dialogue with a light and luminous world, made up of overlapping planes that interact with each other.

Corteo - Frisco
2023-05-17 - 2023-05-21 | Comerica Center, 2601 Avenue of the Stars, Frisco, TX, 75034, United States
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.

“At the root of all our research that has taken us around the world during the last 38 years is the certainty that there are stories that can heal. The theatre acts like a medicine, searching for magical architectures and structures where the evo-cation of real or imaginary events produce benefits, pleasure, emotion, catharsis. We’ve met shamans in Russia, Mexico, Canada, Peru, Brazil, India, Bolivia, Nepal, Ethiopia and Chile and each time we have tried to gather fragments of ancestral wisdom. The fear of the dark, the loss of a family member, the wounds of love produce painful sores that only certain stories can heal. Over the years we have created shows on watermarked paper in which elements of this research were imprinted. Using lightness and adapting ourselves to it we have developed stories where illness and healing have always been present; from “Icaro” to “Così si tirava il destino”, from “Nebbia” to “Donka” to arrive at “Per Te”.I met Pablo many years ago in Mexico and we formed a profound friendship. I took him with me to Canada and he became an integral part of the Company when “I made the new version of “Brutta Canaglia la Solitudine”. In Buenos Aires a few years ago he told me about one of his projects and over the years I have seen it develop and grow, marveling at the subtlety of the intent and the poetic nature of the result. This new creation will allow us to get back to the roots of our way of thinking about theatre made up of closeness with the public, the search for empathy, levity and enchantment. It will also be a way to reflect on all the work done over the 38 years of continuous playful creation.52 is the number of a street that does not exist in the plan imagined by visionary urban planners. It’s the reconstruction of a night where a father, doctor and rug-by player is murdered by a group of assassins, is also the description of a method that, on one hand, Pablo discovered and, on the other, we and the Company have invented to create stories that heal. This project will allow us once more to meet medical and architectural friends; with them we will reflect on beauty, anamnesis, cartography, radiography and finally the construction of models and maquettes representing dreams and emotions hidden in secret corners and folds”

Luzia - Frankfurt
2023-06-13 - 2023-07-16 | Festplatz am Rotsweg, 60386, Germany
A waking dream of Mexico
Luzia takes you to an imaginary Mexico, like in a waking dream, where light (“luz” in Spanish) quenches the spirit and rain (“lluvia”) soothes the soul. Through a series of grand visual surprises and breathtaking acrobatic performances, Luzia invites audiences to escape on a surrealistic journey through a sumptuous and vibrant world suspended somewhere between dreams and reality. Smoothly passing from an old movie set to the ocean to a smoky dance hall or an arid desert, Luzia cleverly brings to the stage multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico taken from both tradition and modernity. Rich in awe-inspiring moments, Luzia enchants by incorporating rain into acrobatic and artistic scenes – a first for a Cirque du Soleil touring production.

Luna Park - Lugano
2023-09-15 | LAC, Piazza Bernardino Luini 6, Lugano, 6900, Switzerland
Luna Park is like a “fairground ride” inside stage machinery and the secret world of circus performers and clowns. A return to the origins of the Compagnia Finzi Pasca, wholly devoted to today’s public, who can let themselves be transported by lights, colours, mirrors, music and by the nostalgia of a surprising and light-hearted age.
There is mystery in fairgrounds… as in this show, where in small groups the public will travel in a dream, behind the stage curtain, discovering unique and secret points of view and living the stage together with the actors, close to them as never before but in complete safety.
For groups of up to a maximum of 25 people, with around 50 “fairground rides” a day lasting 20 minutes each. From 8 to 20 September at Lugano LAC (Lugano Arte e Cultura).
