This will not be the first time that the world renown Daniele Finzi Pasca – the director of Cirque du Soleil’s performances and the closing ceremonies of the Olympics – will be bringing his shows to Platonov festival. This time his visually impeccable and incredibly warm spectacle in Voronezh will premiere in Russia.
Per te puts on stage the imaginary garden of a brave young woman: a group of her friends in suits of armour – artists, acrobats, musicians – face a battle that, sooner or later, we will all have to face.
Per te is a hymn to life, an intense and unforgettable show dedicated to Julie Hamelin Finzi, co-founder of Compagnia Finzi Pasca, deceased in 2016.
The show will be performed at the Festival with the support of Pro Helvetia.
“A beautiful dedication to the company's co-founder Julie Hamelin Finzi and a special insight into the beauty that one can find in reflection and the fragility of all things in the powerful breeze that blows through all the memories of a life lived.”
Australian Stage
“The Garden of Earthly Delights.”
Conversation
““Per Te” is a movable feast of comedy, clowning and acrobatics.”

Their distinctive poetics took shape from the concept of Theatre of the Caress. The unique style of creativity, together with a philosohpy of training for everybody involved in the production aims to give the audience an unmistakable sense of nostalgia and a boost of emotions.
