IN WHICH THEIR INCREDIBLE PER- FORMANCES ARE THE TRUE PRO- TAGONISTS ON THE SCENE, SUR- ROUNDED BY BREATHTAKING AND FASCINATING CHOREOGRAPHIES. Artists from all parts of the world have been selected and coordinated by Onofrio Colucci, the protagonist of some of the biggest “nouveau cirque” shows, playing the part of an innovative, unusual and revolutionary clown, from Slava’s Snowshow to the Cirque du Soleil, with whom he collaborated to put “O”, “Zaia” and “Zed” on stage. Colucci, who has been chosen as Artistic Director for the production of A-Group, is the Master of Ceremony at the show, and he guides spectators through this magical journey between dream and reality, by drawing inspiration from dreamy and surreal atmosphe- res from the fantasy and imaginary literature of the 19th Century.

“You are absolutely amazing!“ Steven Spielberg “You are keeping us on tenderhooks!” Liza Minelli “You are so funny, I couldn’t stop laughing” Harrison Ford The artistic choice at the base of Le Cirque with the World’s Top Performers aims at highlighting and valorizing the extraordinary performances of each indi- vidual artist who performs within a narrative and coordinated framework, without deviating from the authors’ intentions, and without diverting the audience attention from the heart of the performance, i.e. the incredible challenge that the performer launches every time, with genius and tenacity, according to the laws of what is pos- sible, of physics, of gravity, and… of reason. The prestigious setting of the show has been specially designed by the contemporary artist Ugo Nespolo. Ugo Nespolo
