FREE ENTRY
Improbabile > Circus arts > Street theater
Circ Rodini was founded in 2020 by acrobats Katleen Ravoet and Davide Salodini. Inspired by the “old circus”, Circ Rodini tries to breathe new life into the past and at the same time give meaning to what is happening today.
In her piece “Improbabile”, Loretta Rodini arrives from the city with her assistant Gino. Unfortunately, the elephants and camels have returned to Africa and the other artists have not shown up. Will the two of them succeed in recapturing their former glory?
Get ready for an enchanting family show full of acrobatics and sparkling humor.
