Mission Roosevelt sets out to cross the urban space. It uses the wheelchair as an instrument and a tool, as a metaphor of the disparity through which to conquer the city. It is an experience of town planning, a performance appealing to the participation of the public which, installed on wheelchairs, is transformed into a kind of firing squad, in one merry war machine. Mission Roosevelt is an invasion of the city.

This event requires prior subscription.

THE TONY CLIFTON CIRCUS
The Tony Clifton Circus came to life in 2001 courtesy of Italian/American artist Anthony Jerome Clifton meeting Nicola Danesi De Luca and Iacopo Fulgi. They aim to bring to the stage the rareness, the anomaly; they want to make us laugh but also to hold it in. They bring something more embarrassing than fun to the scene and they love mixing the most elemental craziness with comical tricks, and it is on these premises that their shows are born.

This event is in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo
