KALINKA by Compagnia Nando and Maila

One show that, through the musical clown, explores the story of a well-matched couple of artists with a Felliniesque touch: he (Mascherpa) is a wacky impresario-presenter-sidekick, she (Zirovna) is an equally clumsy prima donna who came-run away expelled, go figure, from the great circus tradition of Soviet Russia. Nando and Maila bring to the stage a playful and tender charge that is imbued with quarrels, jabs, pranks, and gradually enriched with poetry. They duet with musical contortions, when embraced they dance a tango while playing accordion and violin. In KALINKA live music intertwines with gags, catchphrases, aerial acrobatics, and juggling. A journey into the characters of traditional circus, staged through the language of Contemporary Circus.
