The famous contemporary artist Rabarama invited to the One Night for One Drop
event in Las Vegas, donates the sculpture "Chi-Chi" for the auction to benefit
One Drop.

The Italian artist Rabarama (www.rabarama.com), so well known for her giant
humanoids sculptures decorated in esoteric patterns that had been exhibited in
public places from Paris to Shanghai, has been invited to participate in  One
Night for One Drop, a global philanthropy event in Las Vegas, a one night-only
original production specially created by Cirque du Soleil benefitting One Drop.

In fact her art is near to the spectacular, colored aesthetics that made Cirque
du Soleil shows so appreciated in the world and the poses of her creatures are
dramatically dynamical and suggestive, resembling a strange kind of ritual
dance.

Her sculpture "Chi-Chi", inspired   to the I-Ching, will be auctioned during the
event and presented to the public in an original, unique show imagined by Cirque
du Soleil, on World Water Day March, 22 in the "O" Theatre at Bellagio, Las
Vegas, USA.

Rabarama career started in the '90s in collaboration with the representing
gallery Vecchiato with the first exhibitions in Mexico and Usa. Then her giants
were appreciated by public and critic in cities around the world (Paris,
Beijing, Shanghai, Miami, Florence, etc) and at the 54(th) Biennial in Venice.

One Drop is a philanthropy organization founded by Cirque du Soleil's owner Guy
Laliberté and its main aim is to ensure that water is accessible to all in the
world: "One person dies every 20 seconds because they don't have access to clean
water," said Laliberté. "It is one of our planet's most pressing, yet most
addressable problems, if we focus the amount of attention and resources it
deserves."
