The second edition of Festivabìlia – The Theater of Potential Abilities kicked off on Friday, November 8, and will run until December 4 at Teatro Camploy and within the spaces of the University of Verona. Opening the event with a moving and timely performance was the Bergamo-based company Les Moustaches with “La Difficilissima Storia di Ciccio Speranza” (The Extremely Difficult Life Story of Ciccio Speranza).
Ciccio Speranza is a young farmer who lives in the countryside with his father Sebastiano and his brother Denis, from whom he is very different. Adorned with a pink tutu but dreams dirtied by mud, Ciccio, due to his imposing size, is forced to take on the humblest tasks. Yet Ciccio harbors a dream: to dance. A naïve but powerful dream that makes Ciccio Speranza dance to share his story and his thirst for freedom with us. Accepting one’s life doesn’t mean giving up on dreaming!
