The Impossible Things
CLOWN, MUSIC AND TIGHTROPE WALKING.
“Alice laughed:
– There’s no use trying, she said.
One can’t believe impossible things.
– I daresay you haven’t had much practice, said the Queen.
When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast”.
Lewis Carroll.
… like walking on bottles
OUR IDEA
Based on improvisation, the show grows and adapts to its audience with every performance .
We conceived of this street theater company as the bond that unites us to all kinds of audiences. We offer accessible creations, with simple forms, aiming to adapt us to everything and everybody. Based on the idea of a show that evolves with its audience, we create flexible forms, deconstructing in order to reconstruct. It is the art en motion that is nourished by the encounter between audience and characters.
This exchange process of proximity and discovery is the path to in the end open the street theater. The music and clown for everybody, to make the audience participate in our creativity and awaken their own.
