Spazio FLIC – International Center for Circus Arts – in collaboration with BUNKER Via Niccolò Paganini 0/200, Turin, Italy
The third edition of the Oscillante Festival brings a wind of novelty and experimentation. The Cadre Aérien, with its moments of acrobatic complicity, will have special visibility this year thanks to the national premieres of the Spanish company BALBÀL, with the outdoor show “NINGUNA PALAPRA” and the French company LES QUAT’FERS EN L’AIR with the show “GRAVIR.”
In this space of artistic and human encounter, “L’EQUILIBRIO DEL CAOS,” an unprecedented and daring show created especially for the Festival and directed by Florent Bergal (France), will be presented as a national premiere. Five ballant trapeze artists, trained at FLIC and now professionals, joined by five students from the school, will come together to share a collective experience, inhabiting two large aerial structures with poetic adrenaline. On stage: Costanza Bernotti (Italy), Laura Carrasco Castañeda (Peru), Luna Papia (Italy), Federica Pini Sandrelli (Italy) and Roman Prado Diaz (Spain).
The two-day festival will feature artists who, through the swinging of their tools and bodies, will paint their own artistic universe. In Oscillante’s indoor programming, there will in fact be space for solo performances, with artists coming from as far and wide as Canada, Australia, the United States, Peru and many European countries, thanks also to international collaborations with Professional Schools of Circus Arts.
The Festival will be led by the multifaceted artist Giorgio Bertolotti who, with his extravagant characters, will animate shows and moments of pause, enriched by site-specific performances by the students of the FLIC Circus School.
As in previous editions, this year it will be possible to experience the thrill of flight thanks to trapeze ballant lessons. New for this edition is that the lessons will take place from Monday, June 23 to Sunday, June 29, offering an entire week dedicated to this fascinating discipline, under the guidance of qualified instructors. An unmissable opportunity to test yourself in total safety and discover a new perspective.
The Festival will end in a festive and informal atmosphere: the public will be invited to an evening DJ set by Miss Scarlett and a swing concert by The Swing Band Theory, to celebrate together with the artists and students of the FLIC School. The festival area will feature street food and cocktail bars.

NATIONAL PREMIERE
NINGUNA PALABRA BALBÀL COMPANY
The aerial picture, their place, a central point, is the basis of their imagination.
Above, they tell a set of everyday stories, changing emotions and feelings of freedom and flight, full of adrenaline. Through acrobatics, they share with us their world and their point of view, in a workshop of suspended body states…

GRAVIR
LES QUAT'FERS EN L'AIR
They are a duo of acrobats ready for anything to climb the highest peaks, but climate change has melted the snow and all that remains is the skeleton of this huge mountain. Why rush to want to climb if you always end up descending again? It is a mystery that can be solved by savoring the pleasure of acrobatics in a brief moment of weightlessness.

L’EQUILIBRIO DEL CAOS
FLIC
Chaos is not always an enemy. Sometimes, it is in the apparent disorder that the most profound transformations are born. Five trapeze artists and five acrobats move between heaven and earth, inhabiting aerial structures that sway, vibrate, defy gravity. Their performance is an unstable dance, a continuous chase for balance, tested by a chaos that bursts, shakes, confuses. But it is right there, in the heart of the confusion, that something surprising happens. Between swinging bodies and falls that become leaps, a powerful metaphor takes shape: life itself. For we, like them, try to stay balanced as everything changes, shifts, collapses and reassembles. And in those moments that seem dark is often hidden the spark of a new beginning, the possibility of seeing previously unthinkable horizons.
