“Delirico”

« People may say I can’t sing, but no one can ever say I didn’t sing ». Inspired by the life of Florence Foster Jenkins, “Delirico” questions the art and its interpretation both from the artists’ and audience’s point of view… 

Synopsis:

Finally! Today Ornella Strozzi thinks she is eventually ready (or so she feels) to open the doors of her great Opera to her public! Ornella dreams to be a Prima Donna. But despite the constant care of her faithful manservant, her dream will quickly turn into an utterly incredible and mystical delirium…

In a tragi-comic baroque ambiance, “Delirico” explores the boundaries between fantasy and realities, dementia and awareness, rebellion and conformity… after removing the fleas from the wig, of course… A tendre, irreverent and wacky show!

circoPitanga reveals in this fourth creation a sensitive and fragile clown but simultaneously of a devastating exuberance. A true Schizophonia and total delight!

The show “Delirico” is designed to be performed both in- and outdoors. For more information,
