Zero Double Zero 9th and 10th april

Variety artist - SAMUEL

All of the puppets which Samuel animates are created by him and his collection of characters is constantly enriched according to the type of show and its adaptation to recent events.

Humour and communication is the winning formula for creating an immediate bond with the public, making every single one of his shows into a light-hearted and fun experience. He is also an impersonator (Stasera mi butto, 1990), however, the voice which he imitates isn’t his but “the other”: well yes, the only ventriloquist in the world who manages to impersonate without the slightest movement of his lips, imitating voices of famous people for those watching him, giving the illusion that it is the public who are speaking and who magically pass from observers to protagonists.

He boasts numerous television appearances (“Domenica In”, “Buona Domenica”, “Stasera mi butto”, “Uno Mattina”, “Solletico”, “Maurizio Costanzo Show”, …) and tours abroad (South Africa, Greece, Cuba, Tunisia, Egypt, Spain, Portugal, France and the United States).

Magician - ALBERTO GIORGI

He has won numerous national and international awards and taken part in various television programmes both in Italy and abroad.

He had his first experience of illusionism when he was a child on a summer evening in a square in Tuscany, where he witnessed a magic show which left him breathless.

In this way he became very fond of the world of illusionism. He started to study this art form by combing used-book stalls and getting his parents to buy him any books on magic that were available.

In 1984 he discovered that there was a National Illusionists Club (club nazionale di illusionisti (il CMI)) and he became a member. He met the illusionist Ruitz, who he revealed to be the person who made such a deep impression on him when he was young. He became his pupil and in 1995 founded, together with other colleagues “La corte dei miracoli”; a club of conjurers with a small theatre in Livorno aimed at the study and teaching of this ancient art.

In 1998 he won Bob little W.M., in 1999 the Alberto Sitta Trophy and the Cagnes sur mer Magic Festival and in 2000, the Colombe d’or d’Antibes.

In 1998 he met Laura, his future partner both on stage and off, and they created their first performance of great illusions.

Today Alberto Giorgi and Laura are among the most original exponents of the world of magic in Italy. With their personal style which unites modernity and tradition, they provide a starting point for an old-style journey in a fantastic dimension of space and time.

The distinctive element of their performances is the constant equilibrium between fiction and reality, illusionism and magic, science and superstition and tradition and modernity.

Cabaret artist - MANUEL NEGRO

It all started with the 33- and 45-inch records which Manuel plays, scratches and manages like a true virtuoso of the turntables. Each record evokes the moment which it is memorable for: family life, childhood, first love, a night in a night club, an evening in front of the television, a date with a girlfriend and many other tragicomic situations.

As well as songs being the backbone of the performance, they highlight the funny side of such situations. Therefore from the contamination of the DJ’s world with that of cabaret, monologues, cabarep songs (bringing together rap and cabaret), characters, quips and comic musical acts are born. A fun, dynamic and enthralling show.

Performances are at 9.30 p.m. and 11 p.m. and each performance will last for approximately 30 minutes.

Here all the appointments of Zero Double Zero.
