Piazza Caduti sul Lavoro, Rovereto
Bamboo
National premiere
The performers make their way through the crowd and burst into an open space. Using long bamboo poles, they build structures that rise up to six metres high. They climb, jump, and fall. The structures transform into a moving forest, a blend of strength and lightness: just bodies and bamboo, revealing that fragility may be what makes life human. The open space becomes a playground where circus appears like a sudden flash that, though fleeting, remains.
Their work invites audiences into the action, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate, visceral and gloriously unpredictable.
Family-friendly performance.
Free and open access.
