KALABAZI

tTells the story of a young foreign woman

who falls in love with the country in which she finds herself.
Her work permit is about to run out, and she has only one solution which will allow her to stay… is to get married.
But not to just anybody. 

She therefore organises a love contest to find the right person.

Challenges will have to be undertaken… and then it will be her turn to
seduce the public by performing acrobatics on her faithful yellow bicycle.
But it will be thanks to the final test, a secret one, that the truth will be revealed.

A mixture of circus, clown and poetry.
This show can be translated into all languages, from the dialect of the

Jessica Arpinwas born in the Bay of all Saints of Salvador, Bahia in Brazil

From there she flew to New Orleans and the bayous of Louisiana overdosing on gumbos and hot sauce for the next couple of Carnivals and Jazz Fests.

Her family then moved to Switzerland where she was at home in Geneva between the lake and the mountains, cycling to school and university and studying theatre and circus at the Théâtre-Cirqule.

A few year later, back to the Americas she flew, this time on her own, further North to the National Circus School of Montreal in Québec.

Ever since she has produced her work on stages, in tents and on the streets of the world.

Be it in Brazil, Greece, Italy, Canada, Belgium, Nunavut or wherever, each time she brings her unique approach to exploring the boundaries between theatre, circus, the street and cabaret in the language, often the dialect, of the venue.

The wind in her voice, the fire in her movements, she comes alive in the world of the clown, a being who lives everywhere and no where without linguistic, social, geographical or political borders.

Humour knows no boundaries.
