Teatro Due Mondi – FIESTA (Italy)

FIESTA is a traveling show that turns the streets into a festival with South American spirit. The beat of drums, three-meter-high figures with papier-mâché faces, colorful costumes made of patches, flags, whistles and fire: the FIESTA passes by and people begin to follow this fantastic and cheerful parade. 

Suddenly, the parade stops: the spectators form a large circle, while Erendire’s suitor and his rival fight and chase each other, run, dance and jump on stilts.

In this performance, the actors tell small burlesque stories, inspired by the works of Gabriel García Márquez.

Step by step, the city is changing its face, adapting to its new function as a theatrical scenography.

The director of this traveling play is Alberto Grilli, while the cast consists of Federica Belmessieri, Denis Campitelli, Tanja Horstmann, Angela Pezzi, Maria Regosa and Renato Valmori.
