Below is a statement released by the organizers:
Friday 24 May a new day of shows between theater and circus arts in Bari and Molfetta con the XXVII edition of the theater festival for the new generations May to childhood.
We start from the capital with Great Cabaret Madeira, scheduled in the Circo Madera chapiteau installed in the internal square of the Kismet Theatre. At 6pm a show will be on stage that is a true eulogy to failure! Silvia Laniado, Roberto Sblattero, Nicola Bertazzoni, Donatella Zaccagnino and Isaac Valle play a series of unlikely characters trying to do their number, but there’s always something that goes wrong. However, the unexpected events that come into play become the opportunity to open up new and surprising scenarios. The show will be also repeated on Saturday 25 May at 9pm and Sunday 26 May at 11am and 7.30pm.
We then move to Molfetta, inside the chapiteau of the Paniko Circus immersed in the greenery of the Baden Powell urban park. The afternoon of circus events opens at 6pm with Cabaret Paniko. A show that brings together the best talents of the collective, thus combining the most classic numbers with the most experimental and researched ones. A contemporary circus with acrobatics, live music and lots of irony. At 9pm then another rerun Of Apocalypse: between music and acrobatics, without morals and with disarming irony, the show welcomes the concerns of this time, playing at confusing points of view, to disorientate and get lost, the only condition for finding oneself.
Appointments suitable for audiences of all ages. The Circo Madera shows cost 7 euros, available online on the Vivaticket.com circuit and at the Kismet Theater box office. The Circus Paniko shows include a 3 euro ticket with a free donation at the end of the show, available online on the Vivaticket circuit and at the chapiteau box office starting one hour before the show.
