Luzia – Costa Mesa

OC Fair & Event Center 88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA, 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

Corteo – Kingston

Rogers K-Rock Centre 1 The Tragically Hip Way, Kingston, 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

Per te – Bogotà

Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogotá Cra. 7 #22-47, Bogotà, Colombia

“Palcoscenico sventrato, tecnici e attori che si muovono come gatti nel buio, che si preparano, che si immergono lentamente nella storia. E la storia avvolgerà piano piano lo spettatore, la storia di un libro regalato, di un giardino da costruire, di una lotta come le lotte che tutti prima o poi dovremo vivere e affrontare. Julie credeva che ognuno dovesse cercare di costruire un giardino interiore dove andare a rifugiarsi, dove accogliere chi si ama, quelli che si sono persi e quelli che si vorrebbero scoprire. Racconteremo dunque la storia di una panchina e di un giardino, poi ci sarà la fragilità che ognuno di noi difende con armature e corazze. Ci sarà la leggerezza del ricordo delle sue risate, dei suoi libretti pieni di calcoli e di annotazioni, i suoi consigli e i suoi sogni. È la missione di ogni vita cercare di costruire un giardino interiore dove andare a rifugiarsi, dove accogliere chi si ama, quelli che si sono persi, quelli che si vorrebbero incontrare in un luogo intimo e riservato. Abbiamo tanto raccontato storie confinate in spazi chiusi, immaginate nella scatola segreta che portiamo attaccata alle spalle, dentro la quale generiamo sogni e viaggi immaginari.
