marvel in the Piazza Basilica closed to traffic from 8.30 pm and 11.30 pm.
Friday, in the name of lightness, but also with the awareness of what is happening in the world,
the award-winning Ukrainian mimes of the incredible Quartett Dekru are staged, spiritual heirs of the great
Marcel Marceau and winners at the Moscow World Circus Festival and the Clown and Mimi Festival of
Odessa. A black and white quartet that will overwhelm the audience with its light anime show
to the art of movement and the reproduction of many different realities, drawing inspiration from everyday life. The
unique method, developed by 4 young and excellent artists, leaves the audience speechless with
an extraordinary physical theater performance.
The two young and talented artists of the Italian-German ensemble open and close the Friday evening
Pigreco company with their juggling and acrobatics show My Heart is on the Table in which the
technique explores the world of temptations and becomes poetry. On stage a table and two chairs and on the table
“Red candies”, temptations in the form of juggling balls wrapped in flaming red and bottles
of sparkling wine.
On Saturday the drum roll of the urban drummer Dom will call the public at 8.30 pm with Ritmo! a
very special concert with recycled objects: armed with tap shoes and his inseparable drumsticks,
the eccentric percussionist-dancer Dom gives life to an unstoppable crescendo of rhythms and gags that
interact with the public and which will be difficult to resist. For those who miss them on Friday, they will perform
again the acrobatic juggler of Pigreco company to make room for Eccentrici Dadarò, already
several times guests of the Festival who will present Operativi! winning show of the National Competition
Cantieri di Strada 2014 and awarded Best Street Show at Babel Festival 2019. A German, a
American and an Italian … three clown-soldiers arrive to erect a monument to the fallen of each war a
I remember how much stupidity there has been in history. Between funny and surprising gags, misunderstandings and
betrayals, one looks at the ingenuity of clowns and at the weakness of man, to laugh at both in the
show but also to reconsider returning home, perhaps in front of the TV and the usual TG.
After the replica of the talented artists of the Pigreco company, the greeting to the public is entrusted to the sounds of
plastic buckets, cooking pans, bicycle bells from the eclectic drummer-dancer Dom.
Between laughter and amazement, in the splendid setting of Piazza Basilica the public can enjoy refreshments and
tastings in restaurants and cafes in the area.
As always, participation in MAGICO CROCEVIA is free.
In case of bad weather the shows will be presented at the Trombini Auditorium.
