Introducing a performance beyond time, the discovery of a new world or is it the rediscovery of an old one? A reality to explore and lose ourselves in. Taking us on a journey to find our own way, our own place of belonging, our own identity.
Two shadows rise up from the ground, as memories from a long gone past that reappear. These characters are passengers on a raft that sails through time. They are disconnected from physical or metaphorical meaning and transport us without words inside a unique performance called "Ballata d'Autunno".
When the dark and degraded suburb where the characters initially land, seemingly turns into a forest, they are separated from each other by the wind. Apart from one another, they now have to find their own way, their own place of belonging and their own identity.
The public embarks on the discovery of a new world, presenting them with a new reality to explore but not uncover. A reality in which they might lose them selves though maybe there was never a destination.
A 60 minutes show full of strong images, with sharp contrasts of light and shadow, warm and cold colors, loud silences and sharp melodies.

Below and above are only words, gravity does not exist, height is measured by imagination.
A tale told with the language of the circus, a journey through fantasy. Learn to dance with your dreams. An aerial acrobatic and theater-circus show.
Dragging along a giant trunk, in a cloud of dust and time yellowed paper, appears Maldimar. Poised between a cartoonish figure and a guttersnip, she invites the spectator to enter into a fantasy world, made of ropes and knots, of every day magic, of gears that do not know what they are moving. Simple gestures that, seen through the eyes of a child, turn into spectacular and majestic acrobatics. Taking even adults into innocent amazement. Below and above are only words, gravity does not exist and height is measured by pure imagination.
In the world of a child everything makes sense, united by the unique thread of the imagination. Even when alone there is always an imaginary friend ready to play with you. Humor, poetry, improvisation with the public and aerial acrobatics with ropes are the elements that fill the world of Maldimar. For 30 minutes the spectator will feel part of that, afterwards returning with both feet on the ground and a smile on your face!

R4 FUGA PER LA LIBERTÀ

R4 escape for freedom review: Tommaso Chimenti in Il Fatto Quotidiano:
"[...] The brilliant Nanirossi shake you to the core, unforgettable, unbreakable, imaginative, from tearful smiles to somersaulty bites of light and unpredictable comedy, childish but never banal, always delicate and soft, never aggressive or excessive. In their R4 escape for freedom many codes and mechanisms of cinematic police parodies can be recognised. The kind with scoundrels and imbeciles, absolutely cute and perennial losers (like "Pink Panter" or "Police Academy"), movies in which cars take on human characteristics (like "Herbie the Love Bug" or the animation "Cars") and finally those with plots in which the protagonist is able to escape (like "The Escape from Alcatraz").
In the middle of this explosive mix, the Nanirossi deploy two Starsky & Hutch -like figures who must bring a dangerous prisoner in classical overalls from Guantanamo to prison.
Two stupid guards, a prisoner, smart and crafty like Houdini, and a wrecked car, losing pieces and breathing flames from the engine, are the ingredients of this small and well-managed, tickling topos that tickles, convinces, intrigues, invites us, excites us, stimulates us, enriches us.. Not any car but one that turns into a carnivorous plant, swallowing and biting the guards (as in "The Little Shop of Horrors") are the ingredients of this small and well-managed mix of themes that tickles, convinces, intrigues, invites, excites, stimulates and enriches us. The Nanirossi would go to waste in a small garden but at the Cascine Parc they were explosives. "

As seen in Eolo (by Mario Bianchi):
"[...] Here is "Boxed Dreams" by the Nanirossi, whose success goes without words, for it was printed sorly in the eyes and in the unbridled laughter of the child who where sitting behind us. Matteo Mazzei and Elena Fresch are two small and funny characters who depict the various and multifaceted nuances of the things of life, through several circus disciplines, speechless, from joy to love to war.
In a world built from cardboard boxes and packaging, building a house is the most urgent need, and our twosome will make it, only after a thousand vicissitudes, meanwhile creating a poetic and amusing spectacle [...]"
As seen in Utopia (by Marco Renzi):
"[...] I fully agree with the indications of the "Children Jurys" who wanted to reward shows where the ludic dimension was put at the center of the project. "Boxed Dreams" by the Nanirossi of Massa Carrara was certainly thé revelation on display, a performance where things happen and are not only told, with a beautiful scenic system and a well executed game inbetween both characters. A work that manages to capture the attention from the first moment, bringing together audience and critics. [...]"
