Two guys try to build something which is remarkable for their life. On the way their encounter with the objects causes a chain of reactions, where failure is incarnated in the architectures. But without giving up and sustaining their sense of humor they keep rolling, stubborn like a stone falling into the water.
A production combining new circus, physical theatre, installation and clown. The performance inspired by The Way Things Go, an art film by the Swiss artist duo Fischli&Weiss, which documents a long causal chain assembled of everyday objects.
A dusty hand wound 78rpm gramophone, and a folkloristic “theatrical” shoeshiner who’s ready to polish anything you may be wearing on your feet … even the feet themselves!!
A funny old Italian corner in your city: we laugh, we prepare a good coffee, we drink Italian wine and we try to speak all the languages. This performance is all about improvisation and clowning, where anything can happen, all in the spirit of humanity, simplicity, and sharing.
