DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
Professional show of contemporary circus and live music. The structure of the stage is based on a van that has been especially transformed. There is everything the artists need to perform: scenography and equipment. The show is recommended for all ages, all kind of audience is more than welcome. Mixture betwen different disciplines can be appreciated -circus, music, dance and theatre- with an innovating and brave spirit in the world of scenic arts. The show is performed by one circus artist and one multi- instrument musician. It lasts 50 minutes.
TECHNIQUE
In the environment of circus, this show shows a high level of discipline. Techniques such as Chinese mast and handstand on the pulls are very well developed by the circus artist. In this creation one can observe a fusion between these two specialities: handstand and Chinese mast. They both have been mixed and combined in order to reach a fine result, full of harmony. The actions of balancing have been brought close to the Chinese mast. The pulls have been bended and put all around the mast, with a table on top of it. There’s also room for theatre and acting in here. Comic characters full of extravagance have been created also through dance and body expression.
SPACE RESEARCH
Once the van is placed in the right area of the square, the doors are folded rapidly and the stage is suddenly set, no one can guess that it’s actually a van. People use to wonder how such a stage has been set. Three different levels where the artists develop the music, the theatre and the acrobatic circus. And the audience are the special guests; they will be able to participate in the universe of curiosity, taste and smell the gifts and services the characters will prepare for them. Drink a sip of freshness if they’d like. From the balconies and windows to the street, faces full of curiosity get close to the music as it starts sounding and progressing. Come in and enjoy! One scenic space where the limits are invisible walls made of strings. Get ready for fresh surprises and illusions, smiles and impressions, wonderful feelings. Old colours, close to you, they want you to let your emotions go and flow.
MUSICAL RESEARCH
The music of the act. The rhythms and melodies are the direct results of the actions. The creation is a mixure between both, one makes the other, and the other builds up the first. Like a pillow for a sleepy head the music helps the action, the feeling and the emotion. Creations that the characters themselves have created and that happen through the activities they do. As they move the music goes and goes the way they move. This is showed through direct live music, all played in the scene. The artist use a Spanish guitar, a mandolin, a harmonica, a violin, trumpets, drums, bells, drums and a Loop Station (a pedal that enables the user to record and play at the same time to create a whole environment through previously recorded music played by different instruments). Feeling of something new, a mixture between music from different areas of the world, the tradition and the present.
