Miniminagghi

The show is the result of a 2021 research and creation residency in which acrobat Salvatore Cappello and director Pablo Volo found themselves in dialogue about Sicily, dear by origin to both of them. It is a circus soliloquy and a ballad about Sicily, a land that has been a stage for ancient troubadours and more modern storytellers. The story is about an islander who sets out for the "continent" to fulfill his dream of being a circus performer. The show is an ascending climax in three movements in which the actor performs acro-dance steps, physical theater and in the technique of aerial belts.
