Website of Contemporary Circus Company Kompani Paradiso
A performance for family and children filled with humour, interaction, magic and a lot of love!
The Circus Manager is too cheap to pay his artists, so everybody, except Toto The Clown, leaves him. Toto does not care about money – he just wants to play and fool around. But the Circus Manager demands order and structure, though he often forgets and can’t resist to play himself…
Run time: approx. 35 min.
In a tribute to Surrealism, this street act is built on comedy with many surprises and tender-hearted actions.
Two well-dressed men without heads are out for a stroll. But why without heads? Could they be aliens? Or are they simply a couple of shy and modest gentlemen? Suddenly they stop in front of a group of curious onlookers and out of their sleeves appear… And above the shirt collar, a set of eyes…
Run time: approx. 60 min.
A family show filled with comedy which is a tribute to the history of Circus, Varieté & Vaudeville!
The clown duo Totto and Gunnar believe they can do everything a circus can offer: Fly out of a cannon, build a human pyramid (together with the audience), tame lions, balance 8 wine glasses on their heads, eating fire, swallow swords, climb into balloons, tell love stories while doing magic… They realize that they can do everything except… except maybe… maybe the first three… or so. The street show ends with Jan’s World Famous Balloon Act.
A family show for all ages – for the Ages!
Run time: approx. 45 min.
A show filled with improvisation, comedy, slapstick and of course a lot of fire.
French Artiste Jean-Baptiste is a perfectionist who really hates mistakes – which is particularly true if something goes wrong in his own show. He is then very quick to blame everyone else but himself. There is just one problem; Baptiste is not the great artist he himself imagines. Fortunately, his ”assistant” Gunnar is always there to save the day, rescue the show and to put Jean-Baptiste in the spotlight he so dearly desires.
Run time: approx. 30 min.
A walking act filled with humour and love. ”Welcome to The Universe of Love!”
An immensely tall man in a suit and a red top hat, suddenly appears behind you like a warm gust of wind! With great joy and affection he lovingly greets everyone he meets, and bids them to pass through his beautiful and magical curtain…”Welcome, welcome… to The Universe of Love!”
Inside, another man in a red suit and with an enormous red balloon on his head, springs to life… Slowly and with some trepidation he silently approaches you as he lovingly, without words, tries to communicate and interact.
Run time: approx. 30 min.
