Tra cielo e terra
(Between sky and ground)

Workshop of tightrope walking
Curated by Francesco Mugnari

During the hours of the workshop you will go into the research that lies behind this crazy practice.
The main goal will be to defeat gravity to make our body vibrate in the air and be able to dream of peaks and goals seemingly unattainable.
The first session of work is experienced with exercises of ‘body narration’ in order to discover and experience a greater awareness of the movement aimed at the practice of tightrope walking. In the final session the practice will be done on the wire.

Francesco Mugnari director, performer, theatre operator and circus.
He graduated at Dams in Bologna in Theatre Dramaturgy. He discovered the world of theatre in 2008, thanks to his meeting with the “Compagnia delle Arti Distraatte”, a group of circus and street theatre. He began his training in the world of circus arts, particularly in juggling, balancing and acrobatics, and then touched various fields of theatrical expression, dance and performance. Currently director at “Tra i Binari” company

A terra
(on the ground)

Elements of acrobatics on the ground and acro balance
Curated by Salomon Yani and Clio Abbate

Research of the positions of equilibrium of one’s own body, alone and united to that of the others: teaching of figures of a couple, composition of a sequence of movements, work with music, work of expression.

Solomon Yani (circus artist from the Fekat Circus school) and Clio Abbate (actress and acrobat) live in two very distant countries, Italy and Ethiopia, but they share their choices, oriented towards mutual support and sharing, in contrast with the individualistic thrust of the social context.
The workshop will be a small journey between Italy and Ethiopia, which helps to understand how art is a sensational tool of connection, communication, enhancement of differences.
