Camilla Pessi and Simone Fassari met at the famous Dimitri Theatre School in Verscio, Switzerland, going on separately to work in cabarets and circuses all over the world. In 2004 they decided to work together, devising routines that won awards at many circus festivals, including Cirque de Demain in Paris, the Moscow Circus Festival and the Wuquao Festival in China.
Created in 2010, and directed by circus-theatre specialist, Louis Spagna, Pss Pss brings together some of their most acclaimed numbers in a show that has proved a hit with audiences wherever it has played. Pss Pss blends the best of classic and modern clown techniques with personality, charm and consummate physical skills.
Sixty minutes of pure enjoyment from two of today’s most engaging young circus artists.
