"Be funny and do as you please"

For me, street theatre means direct intervention in the daily routine of the urban space; of life itself. I like to provoke situations, emotions and feelings, alter the order and the use of things...invade the personal space of others (without stepping over the limits of what is tolerable) looking for their reaction and in turn re-reacting with humour. To achieve this I use, as well as my normal repertory of gags, a generous helping of improvisation, which is to say, I make use of any external stimuli (be it a person, an animal, a vehicle etc) and transform it into a theatrical comic fact.

These interferences, which in normal circumstances could provoke conflict or prehaps be perceived as an agression, work in my show precisely in reverse, like a collective catharsis, they liberate tensions. In the street the crowd doesn't laugh at any one person, they identify with the joke because they understand it could be played on anyone, even themselves. It is not the individual that is important. It is the human being, our communal condition, that I play with and parody, thereby establishing an indulgent and friendly atmosphere in which everyone laughs at everyone starting with themselves, and where even my "victims" end up converting themselves into my accomplices and allies.
