Contemporary circus arts bring the historic center of Bassano to life, meeting many different audiences of all ages, drawn by the mastery, research, and technique of the invited artists. Busterbagatelle is a show conceived as an original live soundtrack for Buster Keaton’s 1920 silent short film One Week. A surprising Nicolò Toschi guides the screening, performs the soundtrack live, and transforms into a narrator and clown, entertaining and sparking dreams as if we were at the very dawn of cinema. With La dinamica del controvento by Teatro Necessario, a time machine takes the stage—a fragile and hypnotic game for spectators transported by the notes of a piano and lulled by the slow movement of a flying carpet. Francesca Zoccarato’s Varietà prestige is a poetic puppet show that pays tribute to the era and enchantment of 1930s Cabaret, while A ruota libera by Sblattero is a perfect mechanism of humor, circus technique, and spectacular acrobatics on the German wheel. The finale features the Mexican company Quetzalcoatl, presenting Ritual de Fuego, a tribal performance of fire, percussion, and dance inspired by Aztec culture. Combining live music and playing with fire with elegance and agility, the artists create an ancestral atmosphere as the rhythm of the drums leads the audience on an imaginary journey to a distant land, through a collective ritual of pure energy.
