Starting from the reflections of some of the greatest authors of the theater, including Shakespeare, Goethe and Pirandello, during the show the 6 young illusionists with their performances they will bring to the stage a question about enchantment, its true nature and the importance of knowing how to cultivate it in one’s life. Through a series of performances of different nature, but always based on illusions and appearances, the public is called to awaken the “little boy” that everyone was to rediscover the ability to marvel at even the little things that are often taken for granted.
Writing “Incanti”, Andrea Rizzolini set himself the goal of bridging the gap that historically exists between illusionism and theater, thus seeking a way to present illusionism that does not deny variety and entertainment but that starts from the past to claim the stages of the great prose theaters and the attention of an audience that, as well as being amazed, wants to go out from the theater looking at the world differently than when he entered.
