An Australian artist, and author of three different shows.
The first is an amusing comedy, the protagonist a likeable well-dressed young man looking for a wife. He travels with just one suitcase, and when at last he finds the right girl, out of the case comes all you need for the perfect
wedding. After the sermon, bride and groom leave for their honeymoon. This number includes acrobatics, balancing acts, and juggling.
The second show features a six-metre pole which can be put up almost anywhere, held up in the air with the aid of volunteers from the audience. The protagonist
will amuse and amaze audiences with acrobatic numbers imitating Superman and hanging upside-down.
In the third show our hero will magically change children into fierce tigers, and after making them perform a circus act he will cause them to disappear in thin air and reappear in the audience.
After 3 years of training at the national Circus School Annie Fratellini in Paris Magali decided to come to England to obtain her BA degree in Contemporary Circus. During these 5 years dedicated to circus, she has tried disciplines as diverse as static and flying trapeze, acrobatics, juggling,
trampolining, tightwire, to finally specialising in contortion.
As no art form is self-contained, music, theatre and dance added themselves to her contortionist act.
A born showman and expert in circus artistry and theatrical comedy, Mario comes brimming with unbridled passion. While selflessly performing complex juggling tricks for his adoring audience he is often overcome, forced to act out his unrequited love. His affection is known to reach such bombastic peaks that his favorite arena-rocking super group is a compulsory accompaniment.
A “coquecigrue” in old French, is a very rare unimaginable animal, probably the result of uncertain crossbreeding of several species, in a world, something like a walking nonsense.
Three coquecigrues – very strange – are lost in the streets. Naughty and merry, a little absent-minded but very sociable, they are not really concerned with the complex mechanism that is our world. In fact, they cultivate one single passion : singing.

dell'Arte, an evening of romantic dining and chaos, laughter and charm.
