On Wednesday, July 30, at 7 p.m., the Botanical Garden of Padua will feature Petit frère, an acrobatic circus show involving, thanks to the company T’es rien sans la Terre, five acrobats from different companies (Circus Baobab & Cirque Mandingue from Guinea, Cirque du Soleil and Circo Fantazztico from Costa Rica). They explore obstacles, encounters and solidarity in an endless journey toward a better life, in search of an insurmountable Eldorado.

Authentic stories of acrobats, with different origins and life paths, reveal unbreakable bonds and confront the daily life of Western man, which is increasingly steeped in superficiality. In a world where excess and the conquest of new goals have taken over, there emerges the loneliness of the individual who simultaneously discovers the importance of living together with others. In this performance, the parallel universes of the antagonists intertwine through a moving structure that comes alive on stage, allegorically revealing the physical, virtual and psychological boundaries we raise between us.

Participation in the event is included in the entrance fee, which can be purchased online or at the Garden’s ticket office (open Tuesday through Sunday and holidays from 10 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.), subject to availability. Online reservations are required to attend, available starting Wednesday, July 16.

In case of bad weather, the event is made up on Thursday, July 31.
