Gran Variet Brachetti

From 18 April 2009 to 19 April 2009

The legendary creative imagination of Brachetti unites a cast of dancers and actors for this show. The cultural programme organised by the province of Padua closes after five years of grand performances with a unique event: for the first time in the Veneto Arturo Brachetti offers a show guaranteed for great success.

Arturo Brachetti, known as Mister thousand faces, has bewitched huge numbers of spectators from all over the world with his act. The new show is, as usual, a poetic voyage of imagination and transformation: this time Brachetti presents together with himself a human fauna composed of international attractions, comedians, athletes, dancers and eccentrics, offering new illusions, surprises and emotions.

This new show offers both brand-new numbers as well as old favourites, revamped for the occasion. The cabinet of curiosities, Horatio the elephant man, and Butterflash, or the entire Madame Butterfly in 5 minutes! All these characters take part in the narrative structure which connects everything: there is an abandoned theatre, owned by Brachetti, which is visited by these bizarre characters. The building is not completely abandoned however: the ghost of the stage bars the exit, preventing the visitors from leaving unless they put on a performance. Some do, and some dont .
