PROGRAMMA

Three shows in one, “Circus Suite 24” is a summation of three different performances ranging from aerial acrobatics to juggling, from virtuoso clowning to acrobatic bicycling. A unique opportunity to discover contemporary circus accompanied by Giacomo Costantini who will lead the audience into the different sensibilities of those who have contributed to the rebirth of this language. After last year’s success, SIC / Stabile di Innovazione Circense renews its invitation to the two national circus production centers blucinQue Nice and Teatro Necessario. Their new artistic offerings are joined by those of two guest companies for the evening: Stefan Sing, considered one of the founding fathers of contemporary juggling, and Duo Kaos, two daredevil acrobats on bicycles.

Fabiana Ruiz Diaz, aerial acrobat and co-founder of Circo El Grito and the SIC/Stabile di Innovazione Circense, offers the world premiere of an exciting dreamlike journey in which music, circus and flight come together to give the viewer a fresh look at unknown states of consciousness. On tiptoe, the protagonist seeks to encourage a vision of the “circus of creation,” of which this work is a limpid example.

Humor, poetry, emotion, circus acrobatics, originality and virtuosity for a revolving show: “Respire” is a circular adventure, a hymn to the joy of living and being in all simplicity. Two men act and interact in hypnotizing spins creating an intimate and mysterious universe in perpetual whirl. The techniques of roue Cyr, balance ball, juggling and acrobatic portes come together in a delicate synergy of bodies breathing together to the notes of a grand piano.
