"THE BABY" (NOT AVALAIBLE)

SYNOPSIS

What is a BABY doing lost and alone in the street? Where is his mother? How can she have let him loose in a world where danger seems like any other game, where when your teat falls down nobody stops to pick it up for you, where baby's bottles don't appear punctualiy in the nearest hand and... and with all those breasts walking around insensible to his cries? Adopt him for a while, take care of this cute, trusting little angel, this demanding and possessive monster. Someone has to tell him, for example "yuk dirty!" If not how 's he going to understand that not everything he sees is his, that he can't do everything he wants to do and this 'apple of his mummy's eye' isn't the centre of the world? Please, look after him. He could be your son!

Alex Navarro has invested a lot of time in order to be... a BABY! After years of experience and one or two tours around the world, he has turned his curriculum upside down and put on his nappies again. This mimetic clown that so many times transformed himself into others has decided, at last, to be himself and start from the beginning. Re-inventing himself as an ex-adult he has given birth to a comic street show that suckles on the present moment and which contages us with a gaze of innocent fascination making us question ourselves as to what games we play since we stopped playing games.
