Emilia Romagna Castles

After the great success of last year's edition, the "Riccione family show", the circus-theatre show under the stars organised by the Riccione Family Hotels Consortium, sponsored and promoted by the Municipality of Riccione, is back again this year. An unmissable event for families and children, which this year moves to the central Piazzale Ceccarini, right in front of the Palazzo del Turismo.

Five evenings are scheduled, designed to liven up summer nights with circus shows, acrobatics, and comedy: in addition to the inauguration this evening, Tuesday 17 June, the other events will be held on 15 and 22 July, 4 and 19 August, always at 8.30 pm.

The artistic direction is once again entrusted to the talent of Checco Tonti, director and presenter, who will also take the stage as an actor, juggler and mime, bringing magic, rhythm and involvement to each show.

Also returning with him is Alex Vignoto, beloved by children in the role of the likeable 'maintenance man Giani', the protagonist of irresistible sketches that alternate repertoire numbers with new surprises.

Among the most eagerly awaited guests is the refined Duo Kaos, an Italian-Guatemalan contemporary circus company that blends dance, theatre, and acrobatics in poetic and elegant performances capable of enchanting spectators of all ages.

This year's big news is Eddy Mirabella, aka Eddy, comedian, juggler and acrobat. A volcanic artist with an overwhelming sense of humour, he is also known for his performances on Zelig and for his ironic and unmistakable style, so much so that he has earned the nickname "Eddy Sick du Soleil", a playful homage to the famous Cirque du Soleil. His presence will bring an explosion of energy, laughter and skill to the stage.

All shows are free admission and start at 8.30 pm.
