El Grito is one of the firsts Italian companies of contemporary circus acknowledged by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage. They will come to Pennabilli with their circus tent, inside which they will present their last project Johann Sebastian Circus. It is a dreamlike and fantasist spectacle, the product of a research on the relationship between circus and music. A kind of itinerant laboratory which has been experimented in numerous squares all around Europe by Fabrizio Baioni, Andres Tato Bolognini, Gonzalo Alarcon, Timoteo Grignani, Louis Spagna, and Andrea Farnetani. El Grito’s crew is pleased to invite you all to the show, presented in its final version, the one that was defined by the Scintille jury of Asti Theatre as follows: “an example of unique nature and quality, which is an important step within the blossoming crew’s artistic route”.

Henge fuse musical elements recognisable from electronic dance music, prog, psychedelia and refer to this music as 'cosmic dross'.

Gaye Su Akyol is a compelling and distinctive young Turkish singer. She will present her second international release Istikrarli Hayal Hakikattir (Consistent Fantasy Is Reality). The theme, as she explains in her “artist statement”, is “the dream of pure freedom” and the need to “create a counter-reality in order to challenge organised evil”.

Theirs is a street theater made of out loud laughters and interactive shows, which has been performed all around the world. Delightfully comic, incredibly absurd...

Balletto Civile is an itinerant collective of performers founded in 2003 by Michela Lucenti. At the Festival they will present their brand new show Pezzo orbitale – Dedicato a chi cade (Orbital tune – dedicated to whoever falls), which is a ‘premère’. A site-specific and unique show, a physical happening, an exercise of pure listening among voice, body and music also thanks to the extemporaneous electronic compositions performed in live.

Aerial acrobatics moving on a zip line – site specific performance. The Atto Primo (First Act) spectacle involves both professional artists and twenty individuals who chose to take part in a creative workshop held by Le Baccanti and Andrea Loreni. The project materialises in Pennabilli in the days leading up to the Festival. It expects to find the truth through our movements, breathing, fun, by the energy of the group. The masterminds behind the lab believe that all of us could be a performer, considering that every single authentic movement is attractive. This show is a unique performance based on experimental work and participatory practices.
