Circo Udi Grudi

Calgary International Children's Festival

We enjoyed the Calgary International Children's Festival for the first time this year and we will be going there every year I think. Because we just LOVED!

Show No.1 - Butterflies

By Compagnia T.P.O., Italy

Butterflies
is sure to enchant anyone who is - or ever was - a child. This stunning interactive performance invites you into a virtual world of "paintings in movement" to unleash the beauty and expressive possibilities in mixing theatre, sensory boundaries, dance, visual magic, music, and emotion. Allow yourself to be enveloped in this beautiful atmosphere and create your own theatrical art as the piece itself responds to you.

Show No.2 - O Cano

Circo Teatro Udi Grudi, Brazil
This is a show for anyone who loves music, comedy and laughter! Our three clowns live between the absurd and the unexpected. As the performance unravels a magical musical metamorphosis occurs where everything becomes something else and nothing is what it seems. This hilarious adventure is a symphony of percussion created through juggling, acrobatics, fire-swinging and clowning! Although Leo fond this show a little bit overwhelming in places, overall we really enjoyed this show!

A companhia de teatro Udi Grudi fundada em 1982 em Brasília, chegou à Calgary em Maio para participar do Festival Internacional da Criança. A companhia já percorreu mais de 20 países e diversos estados brasileiros. Desde a sua fundação, a companhia cria um show de mescla de linguagens, com circo, teatro e mísica, sempre com uma linda pitada de humor. O espetáculo chamado O CANO!
