Performance "Fugu" premieres at Rivoli on 30 June to dwell on "Power and Man"

"Fugu" is a performance featured in the context of Trengo - Circus Festival of Porto, at Rivoli, 0n 30 June, at 7 pm.

Two clowns live in the world of aristocracy and the power that legitimises it. They savour power as though it were a delicatessen. This is the old dispute between power and Men, a timeless fight that "Fugu" traces through the language of the contemporary clown, a debate that has always existed and will remain in time.
