La Cucina dell’Arte – Sydney Festival

Overview

If you're a fan of old-school comedic styling, you might want to check out La Cucina dell’Arte. Presented as part of this year’s Sydney Festival, Circus Ronaldo will be treating Sydney audiences to their special brand of what the Age describes as “disarming and hilarious comedy”.

Danny and David Ronaldo represent the sixth generation of a renowned Belgian circus family (you can’t make this stuff up). In this show, they turn a big top tent into a pizzeria, with a kitchen in total chaos. Think lots of flipping pizzas, flying chefs' hats, plate-juggling and fancy tricks involving table settings. (You may even get to actually eat some pizza at the end of it.)

Blending together genres of commedia, vaudeville and slapstick, La Cucina dell'Arte sounds like an entertaining night out for anyone who's tickled by a  bit of old-fashioned buffoonery.
