COMPAGNIA DEI FOLLI

The art of Street Theatre

Welcome to the world of Compagnia dei Folli, a vibrant presence in the world of street and visual theatre. Since 1984, we have been transforming squares and cities into open-air stages. Our art draws inspiration from the great Renaissance events, where fantasy and wonder took center stage. We bring timeless stories and legends to life through the masterful use of stilts, fire, pyrotechnic effects, suspended aerial performers and dancers on walls, transporting audiences into an unforgettable experience.

To make every performance by Compagnia dei Folli even more spectacular, we integrate nouveau cirque techniques with advanced mountaineering and caving practices. In this way, our performers, suspended on steel cables and elastic ropes, create breathtaking choreographies. You will see floating aerostatic balloons, dances on vertical walls and acrobatic performances on aerial silks, hoops, straps, ropes and trapezes, creating wonder and enchantment in the eyes of the audience.

In addition, our sets are enhanced by pyrotechnic scenic machines, light projections on transparent spheres, illuminated costumes and monumental video mapping. These elements blend seamlessly together, completing each performance and turning it into an unprecedented visual experience.
