The idea
Mobile Theatre is the collaboration and the family union between two theatrical companies; «Girovago e Rondella” and “La Compagnia Dromosofista”. Those companies consist of actors, musicians, artists, mimics, clowns and inventors.
They try to create a “common language” with their audience for communicating in a sincere way with all audience without any discrimination concerning the mother tongue, the age or the social status etc.
The artists through the puppet, the objects and the music… present poetic stories that have deep humanistic meaning.
The mobile theatre consists of:
- The «Theatre-bus». A rather big bus that its interior is like a small theatre with velvet seats and lanterns. The stage is small and close to the audience.
- An 11-meter-truck that has another stage inside
They are all set up as an open-air courtyard with two theaters, a small recreation area, a small library for the Art of theater and a place with some interactive toys (sculptures, visual and audio toys) . This is actually an outdoor multi-site.
The performances:
1. Girovago e Rondella “MANOVIVA”
Manoviva, a puppet played by the 5 fingers of the hand. It is made by natural latex.
When the stage lights light up, you will all enter a tiny worlds where everything is possible.
This show has been presented in 18 countries and has been also used as a therapeutic method.
2. “Dromosofistas” “Antipodi”
Three different characters invite us to follow them in their journey. Together we make a dreamy trip on a tiny horse and we meet strange little humans and their shadows.
This performance combines puppet theatre and object theatre techniques from all over the world. Transformations and live music co-exist in this unique 35-minue journey!
3. Artistic installation
“Teatrini Emozionali” (emotion theatres)
A number of wooden boxes are installed in the middle of the square. From a small hole in the box, you are able to see a mechanic show that lasts 1 an a half minute. Every single box has a different hidden treasure.
With the financial support of the “Thessaloniki Tourism Organization” and “Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Atenne.”
