The clowning week 2023

The clowning week is back from 23 to 28 July 2023! The funniest and most comical week of the whole summer. The shows are staged in the open-air amphitheater, a few steps from the cable car Predazzo-Gardonè. You are in Gardonè at 1650 m, 5 minutes from Predazzo, in Val di Fiemme, in the Dolomites World Heritage Site.

For 6 days the circus goes to the mountains!

The circus always seems quite inaccessible, but it is just a matter of practice. Before and after the shows you can take a walk along the thematic trails for children and families: the Dragon Forest, the Absent-minded  Shepherd and the Geotrail Dos Capèl.

Circus is rhythm, balance and collaboration. Essential values for mountain lovers.  During the clowning week, MontagnAnimata presents the numbers featuring balance, clowning, music and improvisation.

Acrobatics, agility, years and years of hard training are needed to be physically agile and supple. Just thinking about the circus makes you feel happy!

with Nicola Sordo

Of never seen before proportions, between persian red and scarlet, slightly wrinkled, motionless. “It’s a giant egg! A sensational discovery”, after so much wandering in search of clues, Nikolaus Drache does not hold back his emotion. “Au-scul-to-sco-pio is what is needed to capture the frequency and intensity of a dragon’s heart”.
