The event

«Tombolà» is a circus and music take on the Italian bingo-style game, in which the numbers turn into circus acts and the Neapolitan smorfia mixes with new stories, music, and acrobatics. Costantini conceived it and acts as its caller: after the success of last year's edition he returns with music by Valeria Sturba, the virtuosity of the Bellavita company, and, new this time, the Italian-Argentine acrobats of Cie ZeC. The program calls it a poetic and surreal tombola, with prizes for the ambo and the cinquina alongside the virtuosity of jugglers, acrobats, and players of unusual instruments.

On stage are Giacomo Costantini, Valeria Sturba, Andrea Farnetani, Antonio Coluccio, Magdalena Vicente, and Nicolò Bussi. The live music is by Valeria Sturba and Costantini himself. The show is produced by SIC / Stabile di Innovazione Circense, runs about 70 minutes, and is suitable for everyone aged 6 and up; it is part of the OPS! contemporary circus series.
