MORE INFORMATION:
October 26, 2013 marked Year One of an international cultural exchange for the production of CABARET COMICO, a partnership of San Francisco's Society Cabaret and New Performance Group with the Italian Centro Culturale Teatro Camuno, and their Festival "Dallo Sciamano allo Showman" (From the Shaman to the Showman), the Italian cabaret festival of original comic songs and songwriters. In 2014, CABARET COMICO was awarded a Certificate of Honor from San Francisco's Mayor Ed Lee. The word 'comic' is key here; in Italy all cabaret is comic.
Now in it's 13th year in Italy's Vallecamonica, "Dallo Sciamano allo Showman" is a co-production of Centro Culturale Teatro Camuno and the renowned festival of original song and songwriters, Club Tenco. Featuring many stars as well as emerging artists, it has been covered by Italian National Television RAI. The Camonica Valley (Vallecamonica), in the Lombardy Region of northern Italy, boasts a UNESCO site of prehistoric rock carvings, which have greatly influenced local artists and scholars, among them festival producer Nini Giacomelli and her creative team, who see the performer as a kind of shaman, a communicator who heals the audience through laughter. www.shomano.it
