My name is Paolo Sperduti<\/strong>, stage name \u201cOtto il Bassotto\u201d<\/strong>.
\nI  am an entertainer, a Street Performer, an Italian Saltimbanco.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I come from a small village in southern Italy, known (but not really a lot\u2026) as the Land of Balloons<\/strong>.
\nThere, among hills and vineyards, the \u201cRocca\u201d Family since 1902 produces balloons on the most varied forms, colors and dimensions, using just pure liquid latex, just as it had been gathered from the trees.
\nIn my land, hundreds of families work in balloon production or with Balloon Art techniques\u2026 me too!
\nI started In 2002, for fun and to find a way to pay my University studies.
\nBallons twisting and decorating elements (also very big sets!) were my favourites.
\nI also experienced balloons in comedy magic, improvisation and clownerie<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Busking with balloon-art was very exciting and i was projecting a real Balloon Show.
\nIn 2010 I created  \u201cPalloncinerie\u201d<\/strong>, a performance that was a mix of clown acts, magic tricks and stand up comedy. I was so exited!
\nI needed to try and try again so I started to travel all around Italy and than around the Word.
\nCile was my first country. What a great experience! Cile\u2019s audience gave me an extreme feedback. They was exilarated, I was really surprised and \u201cPalloncinerie\u201d was greatly appreciated also from the directors. \u2028During this trip, spontaneously (I did not speak Spanish\u2026) \u201cPalloncinerie\u201d turn out in a mute show.\u2028It meant international possibilities! Wow
\nIn 2015 a big wish to renew convinced me to work on the Show again, so I restyled \u201cPalloncinerie\u201d into \u201cRubber Head\u201d with the fantastic Director \u201cDomenico Lannutti\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Until today (20 October 2021) I presented my show officially in Street Art Festivals, Theater Festivals and other entertainment events in 34 countries:
\nArgentine, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Emirates, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Kuwait, Latvia, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Oman, Russian Federation, San Marino, Scotland, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
