The essence 01 Zéllus
Singer composer poet minstrel actor cultural animator circus presenter story teller performer -ali without commas, because everything interacts in the life work of Zéllus. Inseparably married to three wives: Art, Culture and Ecology.
In his essence he brings the enchantment of a court fool, the levity, humour and tenderness of Chaplin, the irreverence and creativity of the Comédia Dell'Arte, and the richness of popular culture in his songs, poetry and dance.
His songs, his poems, his theatre and his circus are his LlFE itself. He proclaims in conversation, he converses while proclaiming, praising life, bringing joy to circles, enlivening events, singing of the sea, contesting pollution and always exalting the elements of our Popular Culture.
