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.
