Juliet at the Auditorium Magnetto in Almese
Date of the event:
«Juliet» is a circus-theatre show staged on Saturday 7 November 2026 at 9 pm at the Auditorium Magnetto in Almese, a municipality in the Turin metropolitan area located on Via Avigliana. The performance, inspired by Shakespeare's character Juliet Capulet, was created and performed by Stefano Marzuoli, directed by André Casaca.[1]
The show
The production is by Teatro C'art Comic Education, a Tuscan company specialising in the art of clowning and research into contemporary physical theatre, with artistic contributions from Teresa Bruno and Riccardo Puccetti.[1] The piece offers a reinterpretation of Juliet's story through a clown's perspective: the protagonist, a single male performer, takes on the female character and relives her love-driven madness, up to the final tragedy, transformed into an occasion for stage play.[1]
The artistic process
The project grew out of research centred on the figure of Juliet, her wit and the determination with which she pursues her romantic bond. The first phase of the work focused on creating a female figure able to live, through body and emotion, the experience of a teenager full of life, entrusting a single male performer and the language of clowning with the depiction of one of the founding themes of Shakespeare's tragedy.[1] The dramaturgy, comic and largely non-verbal, turns the narrative into stage play and words into images, exploring the relationship between male and female as a path of individual growth.[1]
Features of the show
«Juliet» runs for sixty minutes and is aimed at audiences of all ages. The show weaves together clown, mime and singing techniques in a plot made of comedy, irony and poetry.[1] The performance is part of the municipal theatre programme in Almese.[1]
