Untitled - The Freak Cabaret Circus

Tom and Laura, brothers, fragil as glass, overhelmed by a heavy
absorbent obsessed mother. Shine in a new life desire, they dream
and look for secretly.
The “Biopic” as a starting point from the relationship of the two brothers perfectly
suited to relate a psychological history using all integrating technical experimentation.
Tom takes care of her younger sister Laura, strangely withered and extremely selfconscious, fits perfectly with the “catcher” and “agile” technique.
Laura and Tom hiding dreamers, living a double life outside their cramped family.
Their dreams are high, aerial as tissue and trapeze.
They both feel locked and submitted by an obsessive and controlling mother. Eating,
grooming, study, obey ... “Get up and show off”. An oppressive situation to be translated into action through the use of objects, juggling, contemporary dance, performative action ...
The large presence of Amanda Wingfield, the mother, is in their lives and minds,
lead us to a sonorous and visual space that places the two brothers in a virtual walls
space, that is filled with the presence and the sound of Amanda. The “epic” mother
is treated as a cinematic presence commanding and correcting them forever. The
proposed resource is a short film recorded with real actors using sound and editing
as an obsessive and absorbent element versus a quiet aerial space (Tom and Laura
desired world) to be located in the heights, that will be the site of double trapeze and
tissue.
The hugely iconic and evocative Tennessee Williams´s world and the
overwhelming forcefulness of his characters, beautifully defined in deeper psychological aspects, has appeared almost miraculously defined by
the characters strength and physical circus action.
The lifts, base dependence, the apparent lightness of the aerials, push us
into action to deliver intuition to the artistic act that will be flying around us
to give us the clues of our own strengths as creators. Quoting Tennessee
Williams in Amanda Wingfield character, “ get up and show off!”
ART PROGRESS
Our proposal begins when two companies decided joining forces in a creation laboratory, Rayuela and The Freak Cabaret Circus, trying to establish
commonalities between contemporary circus and author´s theater, looking
for integrators technical aspects that can be developed in time. The world
of the characters psychologically established in classical dramatic structure, as the text we using, differs with physical theatre conceptual freedom,
that express physical theatre itself and circus key features.
The aim of this “Laboratory” is establish bridges to mutual technical
enrichment.
Proposed his first coaching job by joining dramaturgical synchronicities
between this “Cristal menagerie” by Tennessee Williams and conceptualizing force that work “between risk and control” proposing physical techniques of contemporary circus that seems a fascinating and open road to
art research.

a team that had been working with multiple professionals.

sound and musical experimentation ...) with significants traditionally theatrical, searching their own solutions
to the challenges proposed by contemporary drama.
