BAM Circus – The Marvels at the Park Festival III Edition

BAM Circus, the contemporary circus and street theater festival, returns to Portanuova on Biblioteca degli Alberi’s lawns.

This 3rd edition, conceived and directed by Francesca Colombo, General Cultural Director of BAM, Riccardo Catella Foundation, tells the relationship between MICRO and MACRO: not just a physical contrast emphasized by out-of-scale dimensions of the shows, but also metaphorical aim for personal and community exploration, combining a synergistic bond with nature.

Families, adults and children: all ready to be transported on a dreamlike journey that ignites creativity and emotions, to give all participants a unique experience, out of the ordinary. 60 events, 15 international companies and over 40 artists, parades, games, workshops, picnics and much more to experience three days of wonder while also inviting you to reflect on current issues through the poetic language of puppetry and street art.
