The caravan of the one and only photographic circus in the world comes to Giffoni Street Fest to amaze the spectators! Its name is Blink Circus, traveling exhibit and itinerant Victorian-style show in a tiny 35sm tent. The seven art installations featuring surrealistic pictures and the six carousels inspired to the 20’s old circuses have been created by artist Lorenzo Mastroianni (photography setting and costumes). Only a maximum of 10 visitors can enter the tent per time, but they will be involved in a dreamlike journey made of music, lights and synchronized sounds to discover this mini circus-inspired photographic world out of time.
Starting from 20.30, the interactive reading of “Ciao cielo ed altre storie” takes place in Parco Pinocchio thanks to the Childhood Illustrations Exhibit by L’Infanzia di Parmenide.
