The actors are both authors and producers of their own shows, which combine the particular languages of contemporary circus, stilts, quick change techniques and theatre of figure. Since its founding, the company has realized hundreds of performances all over Europe.
Circo Improvviso is made up of Pietro Rasoti, Miriam Calautti and Tiziano Fantappiè, tree artists with different backgrounds and skills in theatre, circus, handicraft and costumes production.
The distinctive traits of their production are the radical removal of the limits between different disciplines, the quick change on stilts technique, and the choice of a poetic, subtle, sometimes imperceptible narration, not composed with words, but through music and figurations.
