It’s time to unveil a new fountain in the city! Bronze, water, light and some quite special statues that are supposed to stay still. This is a non-speaking show that combines the craziest comedy and a primitive innocence. Realism and surrealism, beauty, movement, surprises and tons of fun.
Welcome to this magic day when the fountain starts working, we don’t know for how long it’s going to work.
Original soundtrack and a version with lights and colors for night performances.

Concept:

Manneken pis is a street show. It’s fixed but not static. The main idea is inspired by the Brussels’ fountain “Manneken Pis’ developed through 3 reproductions of the Belgian statue. The three figures are trapped in the fountain, which is actually working.
This is an interdisciplinary project that combines an intimate and delicate language with the wideness and expression that masks and physical theatre provide.
We will start with apparently frozen statues, only speaking through their eyes, to finish with expressive characters that remind u of the classic ‘Comedia dell Arte’.
Realism and surrealism, aesthetic and movement, in just one show.
A hilarious non-speaking performance that uses the silent communication with the audience and the noisiest comedy.
The show starts even before the arrival of the first character as the fountain itself is getting the pedestrian’s attention. When the music band appears announcing the opening with fanfare the action starts. After that opening the action focuses on the little statue that the musicians find dominating the fountain.
Then the game changes completely: from an open space to the intimacy, gentleness and truth of this character.
An intense and dynamic show that gets the full attention of the audience every single minute.

The artists come from Spain
