"Albatri" is a street performance that adapts each time to the natural scenery of the places where it is presented. The show is announced from an elevated spot with trumpets and drums. At the beginning, a female character, an Albatross without a mask and stilts, dressed in white, is stopped and captured by four actors on stilts and on the ground. The prisoner is escorted forward and freed by a winged character on stilts wearing the Albatross mask.
The show starts as a chase of the maiden Albatross and soon transforms into a cordial parade with Italian folk music and playful scenes, concluding with a series of acrobatic skill games with and without stilts. The sudden reappearance of the maiden Albatross ends this interlude and reignites the chase. The following scenes depict love and betrayal among the stilt-walking characters until the winged Albatross is pierced, inspired by Baudelaire and Coleridge, by an evil archer. At the moment of its death, from afar on rooftops or various other places, other large white wings announce that more Albatrosses have taken its place.
