Street & Stage Perfomer
Amami!
2012 First Prize "Festival des Artistes de rue" de Vevey, Switzerland
​
Amami!
​
"Amami!" is simply a love story.
Amelio Pelò, although in his opinion he has a bewitching charm, unique sensuality, muscles that can break any kind of material, is a lonely man.
Like every lonely person all he needs is love.
That's why Amelio Pelò goes down the street dressed up carrying his trunk of odds and ends to find and seduce an eventual soul mate.
In the street he plays, he jokes, he has fun, makes new friends and, as it sometimes happens, he falls in love. They say that love is blind and hope springs eternal.
Usually the results of his flirt techniques are amazing or hilarious, touching and occasionally just pathetic.
Let us hope.
​
​
"Amami!" is a comedy interactive show that mix unusual top-hats manipulation, rough ballet, gyroscopic juggling, ironic un-volunteer striptease, emotional whip tricks and sometimes balances of strength.
​
With his unmistakable style, Mc Fois manages to create an atmosphere of spontaneity and entertainment, where every gesture and expression become part of a visual narrative that speaks directly to the soul. His stage presence is an invitation to let go, to forget everyday worries, and to dive into a world of fantasy and creativity. Each performance thus becomes an exciting journey, where the audience is not just a spectator but an active protagonist in a collective celebration that honors the beauty of improvisation and human connection.

Special units. Maximum security and law enforcement: two agents, code-named Chesterfield and Wellington, are engaged in an intricate mission: the transfer of a dangerous criminal from one prison to another. Will our heroes succeed in this arduous task?
Difficult to give a definite answer, because the road - as always - is full of surprises. Perhaps the car that has been entrusted to the mission is not in the best of states and perhaps even they are not the best special agents on the market, or perhaps they are not even special agents: special for sure, but not responsible for public order ...
So between intentional, unintentional and unexpected, stunts, gags, technical virtuosities, as well as close encounters with the public, our special agents will try to do everything possible to keep the situation under control and achieve the desired goal. Despite their efforts, the effect will not be what they want, and all attempts to restore order will inevitably lead to chaos or rather to a real public disorder.
