From 5:30 p.m., a breathtaking circus performance (as part of the Fratellini Circus Tour) is offered to us, transforming the square in front of the basilica into a living scene where bodies mingle with the thousand-year-old architecture in an unprecedented harmony. Imagine a human mosaic, crossed by circus bodies which seem to emerge from the secret corners of the basilica. Under the direction of Valérie Fratellini, Lucie Otter and Daniel Kvasnovsky, two young prodigies from the National School of Circus Arts of the Fratellini Academy, will transcend the space of their aerial acrobatics and their inverted balances. The basilica square is transformed here into a magical theater, where perspectives intersect and movements defy gravity. The work of Valérie Fratellini will reveal a new facet of the basilica, highlighting its lines and curves from a new angle. This unique setting entitled “Passages” offers us an extraordinary experience, where the art of the circus blends harmoniously with the history and grandeur of this historic place.
