Theatrenvol
(Sardinia)
MACCHINAZIONE
THE
FESTIVAL OF FOOLS GRAND
OPENING CEREMONY
THURSDAY 29TH APRIL 8.00PM
OUTSIDE CASTLECOURT
Four surreal characters guide the audience on a tour to rediscover
the City of Belfast through the most unusual performance ever
to be seen on our streets.
An opening ceremony introduces the procession led by a strange
fire spitting machine, Sputafuoco, accompanied by its whimsical
creator Maestro Scintilla and ‘driven’ by Romeo
Calaluna, an obstinate Don Juan with a permanent eye for the
ladies.
Our Mistress of Ceremonies is renowned art critic and dance
fanatic, Nicoletta Farina di Ponzio accompanied by Goffredo
Battipanni, percussionist extraordinaire and supremely agile
fireman.
Using theatrical machines, fireworks, acrobatics, juggling
and music, Theatrenvol provide a street performance like no
other – an experience which will live with you for years
to come.
Based in Sardinia, Theatrenvol have brought their surreal
street performances to cities across Europe for the past fifteen
years and have been responsible for training many artists
on the island.
Theatrenvol will perform again on Saturday evening @ 8.00
in the Cornmarket area
