Rasoterra Circo

Acrobatic Bicycle, Hand-to-Hand, Clowning

They are a comedic acrobatic street duo. Rasoterra’s artistic research is like a leap, an attempt to take off, a challenge to our feet stuck on the ground. They create contemporary circus shows aimed at sharing with the audience a search/reflection on a chosen theme. The quality and skills of Rasoterra are the result of encounters, productions, and artistic exchanges in Europe and worldwide.

The company was born in Brussels in 2010 from the desire to give shape to the intense physical and creative work of Damiano Fumagalli and Alice Roma. In 2012, Panni Sporchi was Rasoterra’s first show, born from collaboration with director and performance creator Firenza Guidi. In spring 2012, Claire Ruiz, a French acrobat from Compagnia Tandem, trained at ESAC (Brussels), began collaborating with the two Italian cyclists. The trio created their first act: Totem.

In March 2014, Rasoterra presented the street show La balena volante (The Flying Whale), winning the audience award at the Daidogei World Cup 2015 in Shizuoka, Japan. In July 2019, supported by Cartons Production, they presented Virus, also as a street show. In September 2019, Granelli, the company’s first production for children, debuted as a co-production with Cordata F.O.R.

2020 was the year of Happiness, followed in 2021 by the debut of BOA, two productions that speak of happiness as a driving force to face today.

“HAPPINESS”

By & with Alice Gaia Roma & Damiano Fumagalli

40 minutes of fun — and much more!

With Happiness, Rasoterra offers us a reflection on happiness. You can chase happiness your whole life and never catch it — maybe it’s just around the corner. How do we find the balance between being content with what we have and pursuing our dreams? This street show brings a moment of lightness but also invites us to think about how to enjoy life! It is an attempt to make people feel happiness, to surprise themselves in happiness.
