Pólo-Pólo
Synopsis
Pochquente and his Avô Abominável das Neves (Abominable Snow Grandfather) are two tiny little creatures that are similar to the stylised figure of the Eskimos: furry suit, short gestures and bright eyes. In this spectacle, together they will live thrilling polar adventures. Bears, walruses, borealis aurorae, snowstorms, seals, Arctic explorers, sledges, submarines under the arctic ice, hunting scenes (...) all this can appear or happen...
Pólo-Pólo is a show destined to whole the publics, from the age of three years old. This show evokes the imaginary associated to the eskimo quotidian and proposes a reflexion on the transgenerational questions that derive from the life practices, the struggle for survival and the mistery of death - we try to present the spectators with a comprehensive range of ways of seeing, of living and of seeing the living.
Pólo-Pólo has the peculiarity of being presented within a kind of iceberg-teepee-igloo that shelters both actors and spectators. In Pólo-Pólo, we again embrace the idea of the spectacle as a sharing space, of an uncommon moment lived in common. At some scenes, the little spectators participate in the show, and at those times frontiers liquefy, and stage and audience mutually intercross.
