About
This Carnaval Baroque reveals its full splendour in the opulent and grotesque world of a mid-17th century Italian carnival. The poetic encounter between acrobats, jongleurs, mime artists, singers and musicians offers a show that defies categorisation, drawing on folk music, baroque singing and commedia dell’arte in equal measure. An invitation to escape to another world for young and old alike.
