Circus Circo Rimbombanti
T01392391321
The beginning of the 20th century and the end of a run-down circus. Crooked charlatan Don Peppo Pepponi, its evil owner, can apparently do nothing to stop its inevitable slide into ruin. Merode is Don Peppo's 17-year-old niece. Fefo the odd-job man, a timid and naive youth, is head-over-heels in love with her. Both join forces courageously to confront the tyrannical owner of the Circo Rimbombanti. While the artistes abandon the circus one by one and Merode can only think of her approaching 18th birthday when she will be able to leave the circus and realise her dream of becoming a famous dancer, Don Peppo finds himself ever nearer to bankruptcy. Only a miracle can save him. Weaving in and out of this background story are all the classic circus characters: jugglers, acrobats, magicians, knife-throwers, clowns etc.
