which in the grand finale will bring skilled dancers to the bell tower of the church of San Vittore
The Circonenze circus and street theater festival reaches its tenth edition, again the result of the collaboration between the Municipality of Rho and the Duetti e ½ Association. There are many new features this year.
There will be shows in wonderful courtyards, traveling shows, miniature theaters (Lambe-Lambe), a “hidden” show, workshops, a place to refresh and meet, a show that triumphed at the Festival du Cirque de Demain in Paris and which will be proposed in the Roberto de Silva Civic Theater and the grand finale with a vertical dance show on the bell tower of the church of San Vittore in the square of the same name.
“We looked back to understand what motivated us and allowed us to get this far and how we can continue on the path undertaken way back in 2014. – explain the organizers – At the basis of everything that has been built, the meetings held, the shows staged, the results obtained, we have seen that there has always been one constant: collaboration. The collaboration between us who organize the festival, the collaboration with the Municipality of Rho and with the Culture Office, the collaboration with the local associations, with the volunteers, with the Vassalli Family, which supports the Emilio Vassalli Award, with the schools and with citizens. Without this network, which has grown every year, with the addition of ever new, ever denser links, woven with patience, we would not have gotten this far on our own. Discovering and enhancing the riches and resources that a territory and its inhabitants can offer is the basis, in our opinion, of a good project and good work; of successful and satisfying work for all those who participate.
This is why to represent this path we have chosen ants, collaborative animals par excellence: if the ants come to an agreement, they can move an elephant and if women and men collaborate in harmony, they support and support each other by making use of their skills and experiences, transforming the difficulties they face into opportunities for growth, with perseverance and patience they can achieve anything… even a circus and street theater festival”.
In particular we thank each other Caritas Cittadina, Parish of San Vittore and Teatro dell’Armadillo. The festival is supported by Cariplo Foundationthanks to the Innesti project.
