A crazy journey through the most extreme emotions orchestrated by one of the Italian directors with a highly personal theatrical universe
With the aesthetics and magic of circus, Pippo Delbono – one of the Italian directors with a highly personal theatre universe – has created a show about joy, a feeling that runs even deeper than happiness. A show to return to the origins of his theatre to explain the history of his company and a tribute to one of his most charismatic performers: Bobò, who was deaf-mute, illiterate and the protagonist of his productions for over 20 years until his recent death. A kaleidoscopic journey through the most extreme emotions: distress, pain, happiness, enthusiasm. An authentic ritual rooted in theatre.
