About to open the doors of a refined restaurant, two partners are faced with a series of unforeseen events. These caricatured figures, inspired by classic clown characters – White, bossy and serious, and Auguste, naïve and clumsy – create a series of mishaps. But they soon see in their relationship a way to deal with the problems of a society that is no less of a misfit.
“This is a show in celebration of failure,” says Vitor Poltronieri, who shares the scene with Erickson Almeida. “We wanted to conceptualise what success is. Is it making money? Throughout the process, we saw that success happens in the development of our human relationship.”
The piece works with physical comedy, combined with acrobatics, juggling and balancing acts. The cast, however, does not seek virtuosity in the movement, but rather a fluid interaction between the actors, as well as some falls – “failures” of their acrobatic skills.
