On Friday, January 16th, the theatrical show “The Upside-Down Circus” will take place as part of the XVI Edition of the 5Vie theater festival, at the Teatro San Gaetano in Castion.

Branko and his grandfather Nap’apò. Two generations of Roma. Two generations of separate lives, lives “apart.” One generation in concentration camps, one in the Roma camps of the big cities.
Branko Hrabal, fleeing from Hungary, arrives at a Roma camp in Italy with ten boxes, what remains of his grandfather’s circus, the story of his family, the story of Europe.
Branko relives the joy, the magic, and the wonder of his grandfather’s circus, but he also relives escape, deportation, imprisonment, and extermination.

It is a fairy tale, a parable, a novel; it is a confession. It is ironic, melancholic, comical, and cruel.

Written and performed by Andrea LupoDirected by Andrea Paolucci – Original music by David Sarnelli – Production by Teatro delle Temperie
