Saturday May 25, 2024 third and final appointment from Zo Contemporary Culture Center of Catania for “Cirque” the circus and performing arts festival, with two performances on the calendar.
PLAN:
– At 5.30pm the Alcamo artist Agata Leale will stage “Ethereal”.
“Ethereal” is not just a show of giant bubbles. The artist from Alcamo will use these round, ephemeral and colorful rainbows in the most varied ways in order to create a dreamlike, magical and poetic scenario. What emerges is a show suitable for children but which also fascinates adults.
With this show, for 15 years Agata Leale has been giving life to a show of giant soap bubbles with which she continues to perform as a street artist and not only in various events throughout Sicily, such as festivals, white nights, festivals. You have participated in street art festivals such as the Valdemone Festival in Pollina and the Enna Busker. In 2017 she performed at the Circus Maximus in Rome. A tireless experimenter, she is responsible for some interesting contaminations between juggling and soap bubbles.
– At 6.30pm “Waiting for the Miss”, show by and with Miss Jenny Pavone.
The Como artist Cristina Geninazzi in the circus world is Miss Jenny Pavone. In “Waiting for the Miss”, the audience awaits with fervor and excitement the extraordinary event, perhaps the “greatest trapeze artist in the world”… Everything is ready, you can feel the anticipation in the air but the show doesn’t seem to start , or maybe it has already started? Between carpet beaters and broken radios, dusters and high-heeled shoes, unexpected events, hitches and acrobatics, will the funny lady Gina take care of entertaining Jenny Pavone’s horde of fans until she arrives, or perhaps until she conquers the scenes? Acrobatics show in the air with fabrics and trapeze and on the ground with bizarre playbacks, stuffed sandwiches, ostrich feathers and salad leaves. A show where grace and clumsiness, circus and clowning mix in a unique experience creating an exhilarating cocktail!
Cristina Geninazzi has been pursuing her study and love for physical theater, clowning and aerial disciplines for years. In 2007 she graduated from the Jacques Lecq method physical theater school in Milan and in 2010 from the Flic circus school in Turin. From 2012 to 2015 she was a performer for the Welsh company NoFitState Circus for the circus-theater show “Noodles”, presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013 and at the London Mime Festival in 2015. Since 2015 as Miss Jenny Pavone she has performed with the his comic fixed trapeze act, which was a finalist for the Takimiri award at the Clown&Clown Festival in 2015.
