Denver Center presents 'Nebbia'


Premier French Canadian circus Cirque Éloize has teamed with the Swiss acrobatic theatre troupe Teatro Sunil to create NEBBIA, a vibrant production featuring contemporary circus arts, music, dance and theatre. The show, helmed by the acclaimed director Daniele Finzi Pasca (Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo), plunges audiences into a fantastical world of dreams, imagination and the unexpected. NEBBIA – Italian for “fog” – will play Denver’s Buell Theatre April 28 and 29 for two shows only. Tickets are on sale now.

NEBBIA features an international cast of acrobats, clowns, jugglers, trapeze artists and musicians, led by director and choreographer Daniele Finzi Pasca, whose unique style has been seen in Cirque Eloize’s Rain on Broadway, in Cirque du Soleil’s hit show Corteo, and in the closing ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin.

Le Telejournal Montreal declares NEBBIA “a true masterpiece,” and Le Journal de Montreal raves, "At times sidesplitting, at other times heart-wrenching, the quality of this performance by Cirque Éloize and Teatro Sunil is extraordinary…this is circus that you can feel, where emotion is conveyed as if by magic."

NEBBIA is the third part of the Sky Trilogy, an eight-year collaboration between Cirque Éloize and Daniele Finzi Pasca. The three shows – Nomade, Rain and Nebbia – explore the world of acrobatics and the poetry of circus arts through profoundly human characters
