As part of the Circen Dolomites Festival, circus games and aperitif on the large lawn in front of the church
From Wednesday, 31 July to Friday, 2 August, the lawn in front of the church in Soraga will be transformed into a sort of artistic arena in which to watch entertaining circus acts, able to thrill young and old alike, as long as they are curious... yes, because the circus is capable of providing ageless emotions! This evening the programme includes the opening of the CircenVillage and the play area at 6 p.m., followed by a musical aperitif-dinner in the company of the great Phill Reynolds, alias Silva Cantele.
Phill Reynolds is a modern singer-songwriter born in the Vicenza hills. Since 2011, he has given over 500 concerts in Europe and the United States, telling stories of love and anger with his desert voice. In his one-man band live shows, he uses bass drum and cymbal, creating emotional experiences with fingerstyle technique. His latest album, A Sudden Nowhere, released in 2021, received excellent reviews. A contestant on XFactor Italia 2021, he has shared the stage with artists such as Eric Andersen, Sigur Ros and Timber Timbre. In his concerts, he alternates revisited songs by the American singer-songwriter with biographical readings.
After the success of the past editions, in summer 2024 "Circen Dolomites Festival" comes back. For a whole week, and to be more precise from 26 July to 2 August, Val di Fassa hosts prominent street artists and good international jugglers. Squares, museums, but also high-altitude locations, turn into exceptional stages for astonishing performances, both in ability and creativity. The festival is organised by Fassa’s group of jugglers "Circensema", founded in 2017 in partnership with the local association "Inout", which for some years has been practising the circus art and also training, together with professionals, some teenagers that perform in a few shows throughout the year, juxtaposing juggling and theatre.
