THE BEST OF
Arturo's shows
SOLO
Arturo tells his fantasies and his dreams through a miniature house, symbolizing the memories that each of us holds in their heads and in their hearts. The house becomes a set and Arturo invites the public to come and go through 7 different rooms, each one associated with a memory or a fantasy that Arturo wanders through with his magic and transformations.
BRACHETTI CHE SORPRESA
Arturo is located in a place full of suitcases, boxes and trunks from around the world. A limbo both mysterious and fascinating, full of objects and stories collected on long trips and curious characters who stumbled there, somehow. Will Arturo find his lost red suitcase? To do so, like in a big videogame, he will face challenges and levels … just like life, right?

BRACHETTI IN TECHINCOLOR
In a hypothetical 2095 the culture is the prerogative of a few, so a small group of terrorists decides to enter the bunker where is contained the whole film production of the twentieth century to unleash it. They bring along the replicant Arthur who should store data. It soon realized that the replicant is damaged: he mixes the data and creates a hilarious pastiche on cinema. Arturo thus evokes all the myths Hollywood: Cleopatra, Nero, Esther Williams, John Whyne, Ben Hur, Scarlett O’Hara, 007 and many others in a comical theatrical zapping. The show was entirely recorded and broadcast by RAI-2 three times for the cycle “Palcoscenico”.
FREGOLI
At the end of 1899 Leopoldo Fregoli, the great quick-change artist, is suffering from scarlet fever. Assisted by his wife Velia (Biancamaria Lelli), he relives all his memories fueled by the delirium of fever. The impresario tries to replace Fregoli with Romulus, his double and his lover, but the evil hunchback Cato reveals the news to the press. rturo surprisingly plays both roles Fregoli and Romulus. The successful mix of talents makes this show a great event for musical theatre in Italy. In two memorable moments Brachetti launches an avalanche of transformations: the parody of the opera Aida the trunk of the Café-Concert.
