Mario Gas directs a stage adaptation of this lyrical and bitter film by Federico Fellini (a work that won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1954), based on a script by Gerard Vázquez.
Three lives on the wayside, three characters facing a precarious and vagrant future in Post-War Italy. It all starts when a naïve and quiet girl is sold by her mother to a boastful and violent circus strong-man to help him in his itinerant show.
On the way, a spark of love emerges between the two, one that never manages to come to fruition because of his pride and her shyness. Both share a profound sense of loneliness and a marginalised and rootless life of misery, until the character of The Fool comes into their lives. His poetic world clashes with the brutality of Zampano and leads to an ill-fated ending.
Fernando Cayo, Verónica Echegui and Alberto Iglesias star in this stripped-down production that is faithful to Fellini’s universe, characterised by its Neo-Realist ambience and abundant sentimentalism.
