DESCRIPTION OF THE CONCERT

A clumsy brass band embarks on a journey on their rickshaw. Brass and woodwind instruments play Balkan and Latin themes, alternating between festive euphoria and amorous melancholy, all to celebrate the “Festa”, the band's sole reason for its existence, zipping around on four wheels. A traveling show combining music and clowns. A performance that, at the climax, takes off, shouting “Show, Show, Rickshaw!”.

BandaStorta - is an extraordinary and daring ensemble of musicians characterised by remarkable artistic creativity. BandaStorta was born from eclectic minds and unconventional souls who find their balance in arrangements and compositions that exude the spirit and flavour of the circus. On one of their albums, “Sognando Fellini,” the group pays tribute to the great master of film. The band brilliantly performs some of the most famous musical pieces written for Fellini’s films, as well as vintage pieces and original compositions. All of this is immersed in the magical atmosphere characteristic of “Fellini’s incredible circus.” Like a marvelous acrobat balancing high above, BandaStorta engages the audience in musical adventures and brilliant comedic skits that make their concert a truly unique spectacle.
