As part of Festival les Traverses and Jardins Ouverts
Little Garden is a performative show project, where juggling mingles with movements and cries, a project that is experienced as an animal safari, an incredible naturalistic immersion inspired by the codes of animal reportage, SF films or zoological visits.
Forests, humid environments or a simple black box: the animal, in the show as in the story, adapts, evolves, mutates…
In this way, each proposal is alive, shaped by the environment in which the animal-artist deploys himself: the play space feeds the performance, and the performance transforms the play space.
Nature takes over again for the duration of a performance,
Spectators discover the incredible defense mechanisms and courtship displays.
Dinosaurs, monkeys, birds, reptiles: these are the places now repopulated.
Fabrizio Solinas
Fabrizio Solinas started juggling at 11 years old. In 2012, he joined the FLIC school in Turin, Italy, for 2 years.
In 2014, he entered professional training at the Centre régional des arts du cirque de Lille-Lomme.
During a workshop with Clément Dazin, Fabrizio discovered his obsession with the animal world and its rituals.
At the end of his training in 2017, he presented a 10-minute numbered version of Little Garden, the first result of his research into juggling and zoomorphism.
The number will be presented at Turbulentes in Vieux Condé, at the Festival Rencontre des Jonglages (Petits Formats # 2) in La Courneuve, at the Festival Le Mans Fait son Cirque, and at the Jet Lag Festival in Amsterdam…
These first encounters with the public encouraged him to continue his work on animality and to imagine a longer format.
A series of immersive journeys into the animal world followed, inspiring Little Garden, a juggling solo set to the sole sound of the animal’s voice, embodying the animal’s courtship.
A 30-minute solo format was created in 2020, followed the same year by the ‘Safari Experience’ duo format.
Fabrizio also performed at the Paris Opera in La Bohème directed by Claus GUTH (2017).
He is also part of the performative creation project Run Run Run with Caio SORANA.
Fabrizio continues his artistic experimentation, notably in 2020 with Cie Khta via La ZEF- Zone d’Expérimentations Facilitées, where he spent 3 days behind a store window experimenting with the idea of a spectacular form of captivity.
