Kamionetta Poetica Rivoluzione Allegra** in *Busterbagatelle* created by and with *Nicolò Toschi* **Teatro Necessario** in *La dinamica del controvento* concept *Julien Lett* piano *Irene Michailidis* project manager *Leonardo Adorni* building *Tecknostage* co-production *Teatro Necessario, Tutti Matti per Colorno e Compagnie Grandet Douglas* **Francesca Zoccarato** in *Varietà prestige* created by and with *Francesca Zoccarato* director *Dadde Visconti* puppets *Jan Ruzicka* **Sblattero** in *A ruota libera* created by and with *Roberto Sblattero* **Quetzalcoatl** in *Ritual de Fuego* *Francisco Velez Cosgalla* dancer, coreographer and drummer *Hannibal Canolik* percussionist and drummer *Raul Somarriba Hernandez* actor, percussionist and drummer Contemporary circus arts bring the historic center of Bassano to life, meeting many different audiences of all ages, drawn by the mastery, research, and technique of the invited artists. *Busterbagatelle* is a show conceived as an original live soundtrack for Buster Keaton’s 1920 silent short film One Week. A surprising **Nicolò Toschi** guides the screening, performs the soundtrack live, and transforms into a narrator and clown, entertaining and sparking dreams as if we were at the very dawn of cinema. With *La dinamica del controvento* by **Teatro Necessario**, a time machine takes the stage—a fragile and hypnotic game for spectators transported by the notes of a piano and lulled by the slow movement of a flying carpet. **Francesca Zoccarato**’s Varietà prestige is a poetic puppet show that pays tribute to the era and enchantment of 1930s Cabaret, while *A ruota libera* by **Sblattero** is a perfect mechanism of humor, circus technique, and spectacular acrobatics on the German wheel. The finale features the Mexican company **Quetzalcoatl**, presenting *Ritual de Fuego*, a tribal performance of fire, percussion, and dance inspired by Aztec culture. Combining live music and playing with fire with elegance and agility, the artists create an ancestral atmosphere as the rhythm of the drums leads the audience on an imaginary journey to a distant land, through a collective ritual of pure energy. *supported by* *![commercio](https://www.operaestate.it/images/commercio.jpg)*
