Anita Bertolami (DE)

“Carnival di Transfiguro” is a skillful combination of physical theatre and object theatre. Everyday objects and body parts come to live and take the audience from one story to the next, introducing us to their wondrous little lives as they transform into charming little puppets going about their business. Two dish scrubbers fall in love, a small but big-eyed lady bakes like a world champion; and a belly feels inclined to prove its strength. With their gentle charm, these figures invite the audience into a non-verbal realm of the fantastic.

Anita Bertolami completed her professional theatre training at The Commedia School in Copenhagen. Since 2006, she has been developing and performing her own plays, which are characterised by the creative use of everyday objects and her own body. She delights audiences in public spaces and theatres across Europe and around the world.
