Gianni Risola, known as Otto Panzer, now defines himself as a clown and street artist, occasionally lending his talents to cabaret.
He says he has finally found his place in the world, but like any true clown, he clings to the uncertainty of the future — a stimulus to take risks and strive for better. Through his character Otto, he wishes everyone the joy of turning their hobby into a job, remembering what his teachers used to yell at him in school: “Risola, if you keep clowning around, you’ll never get anywhere!”

His shows are pure, authentic bizarreness, pulling the audience into his wild stage adventures. Irreverent, boastful, yet also sweet and bold, Otto is a clown with a sharp sense of stage presence and comedy. His gags reveal a superb ability to adapt to the setting and improvise, making every performance a unique event.

Valore
On a small stage, animated by unexpected characters, a unique show comes to life: banknotes, coins, and credit cards become the protagonists of everyday stories.
With irony, poetry, and a surreal touch, Valore explores themes ranging from love to politics, from friendship to social inclusion, while also addressing the big issues of our time.
Each character — from the arrogant wad of dollars to the credit card that thinks it’s all-powerful — tells, with lightness and depth, the conflict between what shines and what truly matters.
It’s a microcosm where money itself questions its role and the real values that should guide us.

Thanks to a mix of comedy and drama, audiences of all ages are invited to reflect, smile, and be amazed, accompanied by unique characters never seen before in puppetry.
Valore is a show that entertains, moves, and stays in the memory — just like the things that truly count.
