Sunday, May 22 the events of “Loano rages for artists in the square”will be divided between Italy Square e Palestro Square. At 3:45 p.m., Italy Square will host a stage of the Living Circus festival promoted by Cirko Vertigo of Turin.
Some of the most beautiful and daring aerial performances are the stars of the show. “Circus vertigo”: the aerial hoop, Chinese pole, and vertical rope will all keep heads turned upward to watch acrobats and tightrope walkers, trapeze artists and jugglers flying through free interpretations of movement and poetry. In an unexpected game that contrasts past and future, the artists will enchant the audience in a suspended atmosphere that blends and sublimates the main disciplines at height.
The show will be divided into acts, and during the interval there will be a show within the show. At 4:30 pm in Palestro Square you can watch the performance “Bingo Show” by Gianluca Repetto. The street performer Bingo, this is his stage name, will present a show in which juggling, magic, and clowning will be intertwined with balancing acts, acrobatic cycling, and improvisation.
At 17.30 we will return to Italy Square for the second part of “Circus dizziness”.
