In 2002, the theatre company LA TAL decided to re-launch a unique show (previously called HORA KRONOBIS) by using a central element of the previous scenography: the machinery of a huge clock. In it, the boundaries of mime are thoroughly tested, with a singular interpretation of this theatrical technique. SHOW DESCRIPTION Ding, dong, ding, dong...rings the jingle bell s music, the gears start moving...tic-tac, tic-tac...it s time! Knights and the clowns fill the stage where quarrels and passions are mixed. From inside the clock, magic appears and floods everything: but also a mental space. physical space Duration and possibilities SHOW The duration of the entire show without break is 45 min. A watchmaker appears to move the hands of the clock to signal the switch between the 4 scenes of the play. VERSIONS We can also offer shorter shows of 10-20 or 30min long. This would be a shorter version of the show, different combination of the 4 scenes. The performance could be adapted for an ambulant audience depending on location and time: Show to open/close a festival or event. Show to link the programming between 2 outdoor locations of the city. Show to distinguish festival s upbeats. Dramaturgy and ambiance In the stories created by the company, the characters look like Swiss clockmakers appearing from the clock, dancing and revisiting the clown universe of the play. Topics as passion, love, jealousy...what will win? The machine-like movement executed by the actors makes the characters seem timeless.
The set has a visual richness by the structure of the Carillo. You will be fascinated by its size, the colours and the complex functioning of the clock. In the night version the lights of the Carillo flood the gears and the stage of warm colours which could inspire a magical world of stories. The costumes have round and voluminous forms as well as bright colours that are meant to create surprise and amusement within the audience at every entry of a new characters. The sounds are played live by a technician that adds power to the ambience and the performance of the actors. The public The combined effect of this extraordinary set and the unusual type of comedy offered by the company, results in a one of a kind street show that seduces all kind of publics.
