THEATER

TEATRIN PALOMBARO

Nicolò Toschi e Clio Gaudenzi


Teatrin Palombaro is a project that takes shape in 2022, in Bologna. It was born from the idea of ​​having to bring shows, music, art and poetry independently and freely to every possible place. To do this, he equipped himself with an OM40 truck that opens like an ancient traveling theatre. The stage reveals itself as a magic box presenting itself to an audience seated on wooden chairs under the starry sky.

BUSTERBAGATELLE 

A CINEMUSICPUPPET SHOW

Nicolò Toschi


Busterbagatelle is a 40-minute show conceived as an original and live soundtrack of the silent short film "One Week", produced and performed by Buster Keaton in 1920.

The limelight below acts as a stage for the presentation and execution of live music as well as a theatrical space for the performance of some surprises that take place during the entertainment: gags and unexpected events of various kinds that explore different languages ​​including theater of shadows and that of figure.

LE BIZZARRE STORIE DI PINO&PINA

Nicolò Toschi and Clio Guadenzi


Freely taken from the simple, light, curious, funny and for all this precious book by Ambrogio Borsani: "La Casa Asac".

Live music, acrobatics, comedy, puppetry. The protagonists are Mr. Pino and Mrs. Pina, spouses-twins who live in a house of a thousand surprises, really strange, where incredible things happen... Everything seems to have its own life in Pino and Pina's house, every object has something to say and so every day is a new adventure. The objects in this house certainly don't work in an orthodox, efficient, functional way, on the contrary, they waste time... or rather: they waste the time we are usually used to, that of commitments and programs, transforming it into play time , of unexpected events, of discoveries... Mr. Pino and Mrs. Pina spontaneously create new rules, create new logics... thus revealing the time of the imagination, a new point of view that moves from ingenuity, amusement, doubts to the possibilities.

TRIO CHURRO

CHIEN BARBU MAL RASÈ


“The elegance, the sweat, the running of the seesaw.

The lightness, the unexpectedness, the poetry of the trapeze, the grace, the danger, the inadequacy of the couple acrobatics and then… explosions of jubilation, explosions of joy, explosions of gigantic volgaietudine and finally a huge finale!”

Two rowdy circus performers promise to tell the story of the circus from its birth to bushels, but are unable to actually perform the numbers. With a series of bizarre inventions and thanks to the help of the public they manage to perform, despite everything, the announced numbers.

CIRCO PALACINCA

CHIEN BARBU MAL RASÈ


Captain Palacinca and the crafty Jock traveling the length and breadth of the world have collected extraordinary exotic beasts and learned untransferable magical skills and circus techniques.

These are just some of the numbers in the suitcase of the two adventurers.

Offering a variegated totally unpredictable variety.

CICLO....PISTA!!!

CHIEN BARBU MAL RASÈ

“ORA SI!”

COMPAGNIA FOLK-LORIC  

with Mathias Hoby


The compositions and background noise, physical precision as well as juicy and lively humor contribute to a moving, poetic and timeless symphony.
In the piece, the stiff yet lovable parrot-like figure discovers the world of tones. By tinkering with the variety of noises, sounds and tones, the viewer becomes part of a musical journey. All kinds of tones are collected, mixed and stored in small vials. During the course of the song, Loric will prepare "the super mix". The audience will contribute to the climax with body percussion and singing voices. Without words, the piece juggles sounds, “nonsense” chants, witty gestures, funny looks or wild dances.

L0UOMO CHE DANZA CON IL FUOCO!

Joseph Stenz

Joseph Stenz already as a child found the figure of the "itinerant entertainer" enchanting... his love for the art of fire dance blossomed during a journey across Australia, initially as a passion and game, then as an intense confrontation with the fire element and its power.
Fire and life itself were his masters in the development of his art. It was further supported by a creative exchange with professionals at international fire art festivals. Joseph is also a certified pyrotechnician with a diploma.
The inner drive - his enthusiasm for fire magic - drives him to continuously develop and expand his show.
Through his one-of-a-kind performances and repeated TV presence, Joseph Stenz has become one of the most sought-after and well-known fire artists in Switzerland!

IL VIAGGIO DI BO

FAMILY CIRCUS FALUNA

It tells of a journey that leads nowhere. In Italian "bò" is colloquial for "I don't know / I have no idea". But what is interesting is what happens along the way…

A ”family variety show”, a journey, a poetic circus theatre, designed with a wide variety of show elements, made with love and a lot of humour.
