Saltimbanco is a celebration of life where an international troupe of more than fifty performers, ranging from 8 to 45 years of age, defy gravity & dazzle with their artistry. A panoply of acts in which top-notch acrobatics are executed with masterly beauty, handbalancing,



double trapeze,



double tightrope, Chinese poles,



the Russian swing,



bangees, jugglers,



and clowns. Created in 1994 as an antidote to the violence & despair typical of the 20th century, this phantasmagorical show proposes a new vision of urbanity, overflowing with optimism & happiness. Saltimbanco is not linear; rather, it is a kaleidoscope, an adventure in which anything can happen. Saltimbanco has its own language, a soul expressed through the voice, the body & music.
