The stage of the Theater becomes, especially this year, a vital space of contamination, comparison and development thanks to the live show, which we have missed so much, and which, in the theater, finds its deepest meaning.

Dancers, athletes and acrobats defy gravity and extraordinary images appear from the dark in a non-stop succession of effects. A world where the real and the virtual mix in a kaleidoscope of images. A paradoxical hell like Escher, absurd like Magritte, at times Caravaggesque. A show where the design of light, music and illusion are combined with dance, circus athletics and mimicry.

Accompanied live by the psychedelic, hypnotic and astral sound of the acclaimed band Pink Floyd Legend and interpreted by the acclaimed soloists and ballet company of the Daniele Cipriani Company, with the choreography of the great master Micha Van Hoecke, ‘Shine’ is timeless music, bridge between rock music and classical music. A journey into the world of the moon, a place of madness and lost wisdom, but also a symbol of poetry, fantasy and life. Space for laughter from November 16 with an exceptional one-woman show, that of Francesca Reggiani, on stage with ‘Gatta Dead ‘. The show takes as a pretext the main characteristic of the dead cat, that is the ability to manipulate others, to tell the quicksand of our time, the uncertain boundary between true and false, between feelings and resentments, between good faces and bad games.

A show to experience with the family, but above all not to be missed. Vittorio Sgarbi’s great and awaited return with a new reflection on art this year mixed with the figure of Dante Alighieri.

The show perfectly embodies the disruptive force of a dance full of energy and positivity, acrobatic and communicative at the same time. The creations of Parsons, first of all the famous ‘Caught’ of 1982, bear the mark of an extraordinary theatricality and a physical work that is transformed into virtuosity and lightness. It is a solar dance, which amuses as an expression of joy, capable of transmitting simple and direct emotions, therefore extremely accessible to the general public. Riccardo Rossi on stage from February 15th. After ‘W women’, the show that illustrated the clear superiority of women over men, Riccardo Rossi could not avoid talking about men, dividing their existence into a great triptych: childhood, maturity and old age.

Spring opens with Vincenzo Salemme from 29 March with ‘Napoletano? And make me ‘na pizza’. All cities live the weight of stereotypes on their skin, but Naples more than any other. Very often, it is the Neapolitans themselves who demand from their fellow citizens an authenticity so orthodox as to risk cultural fundamentalism. With this entertaining show Salemme tries to understand, in an ironic key, if he is an authentic Neapolitan or a traitor of the sacred and inviolable customs of his land. Also this year there is no shortage of Unique Shows of the Olympic Theater. ‘Tango all’Opera’ (8 November), ‘Bohemian Symphony Orchestral Queen Tribute’ (9/10 November), ‘Distracted people … in search of Pino Daniele’ (11 November), ‘Hotel Supramonte’ (22 November), ‘ Pozzolis Family ‘(29 November),’ Gio Evan ‘(30 November / 1 December) are the unmissable events that this year enrich, with their presence, a season already full of big names.

Important and continuous, this year more than ever, was the activity with the companies for the creation of the new theater season 2021-2022 with significant artistic presence as well as events and celebrations of international importance – he comments – A great commitment, made to renew, today more than ever, the strong link between the Olympic Theater and its loyal public but above all with the entire city of Rome. ”This year the Teatro Olimpico chooses to be paper-free and promotes conscious consumption and respect for the environment. the anti-Covid19 provisions.
