The bill of events of “Biblofestival” continues: in Zanica four moments between workshops, meetings with authors and street performance.
Crow Theater offers the “Creatures” workshop: little monsters, teapots with legs, giants and small animals: the fantastic creatures of the great Australian author Shaun Tan come out of his books and come to life. Then everyone imagines their own creature, makes a drawing of it and brings it to life using disused objects: caps, pipes, rubber bands, containers, pieces of cloth, bolts, wires. Bring some small objects from home such as small bottles, cans, glasses, old toys, tubes and pipes, stars and teddy bears that you no longer need: your hands and imagination will transform them into fantastic beings.
This will be followed by Antonio Brugnano Teatro in “Fantastically”: the tale of a somewhat absent-minded storyteller who, between the serious and the clownish, is inspired by the stories of some of the world’s greatest authors of fairy tales and children’s stories such as Gianni Rodari, Italo Calvino and the Brothers Grimm, and then reinterprets them in an “eccentric” way. Through the adventures of kings, dragons, improvised knights and magical places, the delicate theme of dreams, courage, happiness will be dealt with, involving the young spectators.
The schedule continues with a meeting with author and illustrator Eva Francescutto in “The Beaver, the Egg and the Hen”: a visibly sleepy beaver is given custody of a mysterious egg. His task is clear: for nothing in the world is he to give it to the hen. Are we sure, however, that he heard the message correctly? What will be inside the egg? We will find out together with the author of the book who, between laughs, will show us how to make stories with surprise endings.
In conclusion Compagnia El Kote in street and square theater “The only animal is me”: the show combines techniques of acrobatics, juggling and improvisation; provocation and humor characterize the numbers, all in perfect synchrony with music, so the audience is transported to another reality. The high technical level of circus is complemented by improvisation, resulting in a unique genre of universal playful communication. A dog, a frog and a chicken are the stars of this little circus where the only animal is their owner!
The event will be held at: Villa Comunale Park – Via Roma, 35 (in case of bad weather PalaZANICA – Via Padergnone)
