2010 new productions
Friday, March 5th, 2010In the year 2010 Studio Festi will produce three new shows, all adaptable to any occasion or a special event, flexible in their scenery, production and contents.
The Feeling of White
It is the first new show of Studio Festi for 2010: its theme is love in its variations, from marriage – typical in th e life of couples, to jelosy – the dark face of the Moon.
Water Dance
Studio Festi’s second new show for 2010 develops a theme which is the strength of Valerio Festi and Monica Maimone’s creativity: water as the basic source and fountain of all life, symbol of prosperity and purity – as well as a means of entertainment, games, joy.
The Dancing Sky
The show features a performance of Studio Festi that has become a classic spectacle of refined taste, the beauty of scenic machines – the vision of Valerio Festi, a staple presence of open air theater.
Valentino: The Last Emperor
Thursday, March 4th, 2010In 2007 a Studio Festi’s performance celebrated Valentino Garavani’s 45 years of career as fashion designer.
On 6 July a gala dinner at the Temple of Venus in the Imperial Forum re-created by Dante Ferretti a Valerio Festi’s spectacular performance by high-wire ballerinas costumed in custom made versions of the designer’s unique dresses moved with poetic grace to Maria Callas’s haunting arias, with the Coliseum, bathed in red and mauve light, as a breathtaking backdrop.
The evening is witnessed by the last sequence of Valentino: The Last Emperor, a feature-length documentary on the designer premiered at the 2008 Venice International Film Festival, produced and directed by Matt Tyrnauer, Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine.
