Minimal Improvisation
Minimal improvisation is an original format by Sergio Paris, of long form improvisation, which is characterized by representing everyday situations, with naturalistic acting and scenes in real time. This show represents impro in its most theatrical and poetic format. We will see relationships between characters, which are so common and complex at the same time. We will witness their joys, their conflicts, their sorrows and the way they face life to tell us a great improvised story. Currently, this is one of the most recognized Latin American improvisation formats worldwide, as it has toured a large number of festivals in Europe and Latin America under the guidance of its original director.

THROW AWAY
What you don’t need is still a story.
The audience is asked to bring objects they no longer need or want. The performers on stage make shorter and longer stories searching through the pile of stuff. Some times as props, some times as a puppet and sometimes as something completely else. The format developed by Det Andre Teatret in Oslo marks for stranger, funny and fantastical scenes. Everything around us is filled with a past, a present and a future story. In this show we try to examine or search for what is inside all of these things that is no longer interesting for us to keep.
TREALLAENNE
