On board a magical hot-air balloon, the audience will travel through faraway lands and mysterious places, although it will not be a peaceful journey... A show full of themes ranging from friendship to love, from science to geography, which takes us on a wander among the people, customs and costumes we meet or see in the most bizarre and extravagant ways.
GiroVago alias my journey is the first ‘differently theatrical’ show conceived by the young actor and director Sacha Trapletti and takes its inspiration from Jules Verne's famous text Around the World in 80 Days, transforming it into an adventure experienced in the first person, from the perspective of one or more characters of that time. A journey that will lead one to ask oneself: is the journey exclusively mine or ours? Is it a journey into the world or within oneself? But above all, why does this happen? Because the only rule of the journey is to come back different from how you started.
The show is a LAC production and benefits from the dramaturgical consultancy of Tindaro Granata and the outside eye of Andrea Chiodi, who accompanies the direction.
Born in Milan in 1993, Sacha Trapletti has always been passionate about theatre. He also specialised in Circus Arts such as juggling. He graduated from the Luca Ronconi Theatre School of the Piccolo Teatro di Milano directed by Carmelo Rifici, acting in Uomini e no by Elio Vittorini directed by Rifici. In 2019 he debuts at the FIT Festival in Lugano with his first show produced by LAC GiroVago alias il mio viaggio of which he is actor and director. He collaborates with Carmelo Rifici, Mauro Avogadro, Giovanni Crippa, Massimo Popolizio, Franco Branciaroli, Mario Perrotta, Fausto Paravidino, Peter Stein, Pupi Avati, Michele Abbondanza, Maria Consagra, Manuela Mandracchia, Serena Sinigaglia.
