The classic battle between the Knight and the Dragon is the pretext for a show that amazes and catches the attention of children and adults. In a small town a terrible dragon has plagued the people for over 400 years, making them crazy with fear. The dragon that is always changing his appearance: sometimes he seems a Beast, other times he seems a man, and only rarely he appears as a real fire-spitting Dragon. Each year, not to burn the city and eat the inhabitants, the Dragon wants rich gifts and great deals…
We are born as a theatre research group in 2005 and from the beginning our activity focused on 4 different, but linked, fields: the production of shows, projects in the sociocultural field, educational activities and the organisation of events within the theatrical field.
At the core of our theatrical work is the research of an expressive language that can offer to the spectator the possibility to become the immobile object of an enchantment, witness of a unique and unrepeatable event, of a simple and sincere act. Our daily artistic work leads us to a research between rhythm and physical action, which generates the latest productions. Some of which are: Quotidiano scadere (Winner of the Prize Linea D’Ombra 2010), Senso Comune (finalist to the Premio Scenario 2011) and InCertiCorpi (winner of prize Premio Presente Futuro 2013, Premio Crash Test 2014, Premio del Pubblico CrashTest 2014). Alongside those productions we paid attention to Street Theatre with the shows Malaparata, Il Draago and Simurgh (2014 production) with many tours outside the national borders (Poland, France, UK, Serbia, Switzerland, Belgium and Taiwan). Music, stilts, giant masks, flaming sticks, theatrical machines and mobile sets. All techniques belonging to Street Theatre find space in our shows which are capable of gifting the audience with the enchantment of magic.
In 2016 we produced 3 new shows, Pentesilea (street theatre show with stilts actors), Il Gatto e la Volpe (kids show based on Le avventure di Pinocchio – Pinocchio’s adventures) and Angeli e Demoni (with inmates, students and actors of the Teatro dei Venti). We are currently underway with the production of a new street theatre show based on the Hermann Melville’s novel “Moby Dick”.
