Among the protagonists will be Paolo Carta (creator of the special effects for the musicals Mary Poppins, Ghost, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Sara, illusionists from Verbanese, the acrobat Chiara Cardini, the Duo di Picche - Onelio and Jenny and, directly from Colorado, the mime Pistillo.
