V.I.P

Very Important Places

 

Synopsis

VIP - Very Important Places is a collective walk that reclaims urban space through walking, circus, and music. VIP traverses everyday corners, often forgotten and little frequented. It opens a window to an imaginary world made up of invisibilized places, distant conversations, and objects that go unnoticed in daily life.

 

A bit more about the project

VIP leads the audience on an unvarnished stroll through the everyday corners of the city, where characters meet and cross paths in common places: a bench, an intersection, a balcony.

Through headphones, circus, and scenic devices —such as custom-hacked signs or a quarrel inside a distant car that can be heard through the headphones— the characters orchestrate the everyday urban space and sketch a tragicomic narrative that plays with the absurd and brushes against surrealism.

The team? One musician, three circus artists, and a local resident. Surprising, direct, with the city as raw material.
