“Felliniana is articulated around the wonderful event of 8 1/2 and it is pervaded by the joy and hope of clowns, by the voices and dialogues taken from the movies, by the scent of the ‘dolce vita’ and by the thousand colors of the circus and the poetic power of Nino Rota.
“The concept of the creation starts with a rarefied, intimate, philosophical beginning that heads into the surreal realism of ‘Amarcord’s Romagna’ and then slips warmly into the magical, crazy and extreme world of the circus. A dancing community, a great human, poetic and ironic theater of the illusion.
“An idea of a world where diversity is wealth, where poetry is nourishment and where all human beings, with their frailties and divergences, can feel free and welcome; thanks to the great Master who designed a place for them in the ‘carousel of life’.” (Monica Casadei).
