PRESIDENT OF THE JURY
Arturo Brachetti
The great Italian artist will preside over the jury made up of artistic directors, directors and entrepreneurs from all over the world.
“The circus is within us, it is part of our culture and has evolved with the change of society. Without the past there wouldn't future and so also for the contemporary circus. Only one aspect has not changed: the human factor, the creative gesture and the work necessary for the final result. I fell in love with the circus at the age of six when I saw a goddess arrive sliding on the clouds astride a swan to smile at humans and talk to elephants”.
Arturo Brachetti
Special Guest
LES SOEURS PILLERES
Suzanne da Cruz – Darya Samoylenko
Comic Act
Le Soeurs Pilleres formed at the Centre des Arts du Cirque “Le Lido” in Toulouse many years ago… in fact, as soon as they graduate, they were invited by Antonio Giarola to partecipate at Festival VeronaCirco ’94. With a new formation composed by Suzanne da Cruz and the ukraine Darya Samoylenko, have continued to propouse their hilarious creations in the principal world television and famous variety. Now Giarola, mindful of their veronese exhibition, wanted them again in the guise of special guest out of the competition, because Suzanne and Darya are two very special interprets of the Sylphides of Fryderyk Chopin.
