MICHELE AND FIGARO The undisputed stars of Circo Pouët, a microcircus of puppets and other storytellers that has been performing since 2016 in the streets, squares, festivals, theatres, halls and living rooms of Italy, France and Spain. Different in character, ideas and worldview, they nevertheless manage to get along and win the hearts of audiences of all ages. They believe in sharing and in living in harmony without leaders. They will be the protagonists of the documentary that will be recorded during the trip.
R.A.T.S. Rodents At a Sustained Tempo. R.A.T.S. is an orchestra of mechanical string puppets, made up of four musicians and two singers, who perform musical micro-numbers for a small audience. The band is made up entirely of rodents of uncertain origins and nebulous pasts, with a talent for jazz and no fear of venturing into other musical genres. R.A.T.S. love blue, are not afraid of pitfalls and have plenty of surprises in store. They have performed countless times at venues across Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Poland.
FERNANDINO A tightrope walker, contortionist, and expert in walking on all types of wire, Fernandino is the star performer of Cirque Pouët. He has exceptional elasticity and an undeniable sense of balance. His specialty lies in leaving spectators speechless, aided by the elegance and thoughtful choice of his costumes.
ARLEQUIN An impertinent dancer. Born in Spain to an Italian mother and a Czech father, he quickly discovered his vocation for the waltz and his talent for charming audiences. His specialities are dancing on other people's heads and climbing wine glasses and bottles.
G. IVANOV G. Violinist. Born in Italy, he boasts about having imaginary ancestors camped on the shores of the Caspian Sea. A magician, philosopher, seer, and healer, in recent years he has devoted himself to studying the melodies created by the interaction between his moustache and his stick. It was his desire to rediscover his geographical origins that prompted the puppeteer who built him to accompany him on a journey eastward, during which a street in Thessaloniki played a crucial role in the particular confluence of several destinies.
