Peppino Marabita

Artist, Performer, Acrobat, Clown, Lover of beauty, 100% made in Sicily

Peppino Marabita, an eclectic artist and comic actor, divides his activities between street performance and the theater stage.

Ironically surreal, dramatically comic, Peppino finds in the language of physical theater and circus a vehicle for contemporary popular expression capable of creating a short circuit that,

in its highest form, keeps alive the idea that anything is possible.
