Mr. Brush
The crazy garbageman
Mr. Brush is a show created to entertain through the craziness of the clown and the lightness of being of the modern mimes, who use voice, sounds and music to play with their audience.
The protagonist, a garbageman, will play and improvise on and off the stage, or on the street as well, if the show will take place outdoor.
Mr. Brush will describe his childhood dreams, and to do it he'll use the equipment he uses for his everyday job, brooms, brushes, trash cans, as well as music and sound effects to allow us to enter in his magical world in which he becomes a famous cowboy, an interstellar space voyager and a bungling chef!
But to live all these adventures I'll often need the help of his audience, both the one seated in the theatres and the one he meets on the street, because, actually, the best part of dreams is sharing them...
The voice-over can be in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Italian too.
