Esercizi di fantastica is a show that uses dance and movement to celebrate the power of imagination: that force capable of transforming things and people into something new, unexpected and extraordinary.

Three equally grey characters live in a grey house, bored, dull, hypnotised by their screens. They seem prisoners of a repetitive mechanism, without enthusiasm or surprises.
But suddenly, a small unexpected event breaks the routine: the arrival of a butterfly shifts their gaze elsewhere, and the house is transformed into a stage for a thousand adventures.
In a crescendo of emotions, discoveries and transformations, the three characters rediscover the wonder of play, the freedom of the body and the power of imagination.
The show is inspired by the idea of “Fantastica” by the writer Gianni Rodari, close to the suggestions of surrealism and influenced by Alfred Jarry's pataphysics - the “science of imaginary solutions”. For Rodari, Fantastica is an alternative way of thinking, a creative energy capable of subverting logic and opening up new worlds. Esercizi di fantastica is a vibrant and joyful celebration of this.
