The show Entre Mundos (Between Worlds) is the newest production of PIA Company from Portugal, which explores the border between reality and fictionality, between the world of the living and the world of the spirits in a story featuring king-size puppets. Set up in 2002, PIA Company – Projects of Artistic Intervention provides artistic consultancy for FIG – the International Festival of Giants and it is in charge with the artistic direction of the International Festival of Science and Art Ciência na Rua in Portugal. During its fifteen years of activity, PIA shows were performed during events such as the International Theater Festival in Bogotá (Columbia), FETA International Street and Open-Air Theater Festival of Gdansk (Poland) and at the Cultural Institute Macao (China).

“If Lewis Carroll had turned his absurdity vision to street arts, teaming up with Salvador Dali and Hieronymus Bosch, he might have come up with Water Fools, a strange, dreamy, floating spectacle created by French company Ilotopie, who literally walks on water. It is a beautiful version of hell».

London.” The Guardian

In Water Fools, water functions as a stage for a poetic show about the human condition. Actors walking on water, floating cars, bicycles and beds, original music and fireworks, all these elements combine to create a dream-like show.

The most recent production of Sonics Company is a thrilling show of aerial acrobatics performed on an overturned stage, hanging dozens of meters above the crowd. Sonics in Wish was created in 2017 for the legendary holiday Santa Rosalia in Palermo. On a 10-meter diameter circular stage, the Italian artists engage in a sequence of aerial acrobatics on trapeze and elastic ropes in a game of dance and lights which animates the night life of the city.
