Even though Federico Fellini's "Variety Lights" and "Clowns" openly acknowledge a cinematic investigation of the corresponding form of entertainment, evidence of the director's fascination with spectacle is not limited to these two cinematic features. Just a superficial inventory of the theatrical scenes interspersed within Fellini’s canon, proves without any doubt that the total number of sequences dedicated to theatrical entertainment is so substantial, both in terms of time and of visual narratives, that it can be treated as an independent aesthetic component. Every single film Fellini directed, contains at least one sequence informed by some sort of theatrical performance. "I Vitelloni", for example, shows the “behind the scenes” of a touring company and an aspiring playwright; "Satyricon’s" second sequence is a theatrical performance; "Amarcord" is sprinkled with café chantant, magicians, dancers, and singers; "Roma" has a long scene of a rivista at a famous Roman theatre; "Casanova" contains an operina and is built around theatrical representation; "Ginger and Fred" ends with a long sequence of the protagonists’ dance routine, and Ivo, the main character of "La Voce della Luna", has been inspired by Commedia dell’Arte characters.
