A- Round Stage

The shadow of the spectacle Turning to the circus, to the spectacle, can be an infinite journey as are the points that make up a circumference. Around the wings there is a whole dressing room, a wardrobe, an alternation of sets. A dynamic balance, very tidy and chaotic at the same time, punctuated by blades of light and shadow, which serves the show by creating its own private alter ego.

"Around the scenes" the artists show off their make-up, sweaty, serious and laughing, smoking while waiting for the change of clothes or scene, you can breathe a crazy time, at times urgent and very fast, at other times sighed and slow, the pauses of a piece of music, the dead times of a dance, the circus stage machine is minute, the spaces and the contrasts are minutes,
Circo Paniko is one of the first and most contemporary circus companies born in Italy in 2009. About thirty free artists and thinkers. It blends circus techniques, theater, dance, illusionism. live music, admission to the show is free, the exit is free and aware of the offer, the value is decided by each individual spectator while.
More than a company, it defines itself as a collective with a horizontal internal structure, deprived of managers or hierarchies, based on discussion and shared decision.
It is a light, human, almost "breathable" engine, a very delicate origami that comes from a very strong passion, from a rotating balance between fatigue and pleasure, play and seriousness, dream and reality, a dualism that chases creates a circle.
