Samaki in 'Ragazza Confusa'
Samaki can do everything... or maybe she can't do anything. She tries it all and never seems to know where to start... in the end she mixes up all the worlds she feels part of and the result is a confusing but crackling mixture of energy.

Piazzetta Garibaldi at 7:30 pm
"Eterea" - giant bubble show
"Etherea" is not simply a giant bubble show. The artist, Agata Leale, uses these round, fleeting and colourful rainbows in the most diverse ways to create a dreamlike, magical and poetic scenario. The outcome is a show that is suitable for children but will also fascinate adults.

Corso Umberto l at 8:30 pm
“In Valigia…" comedy show by/with Mario Barnaba
“In valigia...”, the name of the show, is Monsieur Barnaba's joking way to play with his audience. In a succession of comic situations, clawnesque gags and juggling tricks, he gives his audience 45 minutes of pure fun.

Piazza Scala at 9:30 pm
"Ritual - Spettacolo di Danza con il Fuoco"
The handling of flames and the poetic play of the body give life to a real ritual that expresses itself in the flaming circle, in the contact with the earth, in the ritual dance that reconnects a person to their tribe.
