Artizani...
 |
Artizani has been established since 1989,
specializing in spectacular theatre. One of Europe's most
stylish and stunning street acts, Artizani combines traditional
circus skills, performed at the highest level with a vaudevillian
repertoire of routines and an eye for the surreal image.
They have experience at the highest level
of cultural animation, having performed throughout Europe
and Australia, and at most of the UK's major festivals. Artizani
is well known for street theatre, corporate events, stadium
entertainment and publicity stunts.

PUNT! Two Oxbridge undergraduates descend from their ivory towers and are off for a relaxing punt. Blissfully unaware of reality and physics, the boat drifts down busy streets as they regale and serenade the public.
This promenade performance is based on an adapted electric vehicle, which can cover quite a large area if required - it works both as a surreal image glimpsed from a distance and as comic interaction. The punt requires a relatively flat surface. |

Artizani is fully covered for Public Liability
Insurance and is a member of the National Association of Street
Entertainers. All personnel are professionally trained and
experienced performers.

It might be W.G. Grace and Sir Don Bradman arguing the toss over who was the greatest cricketer of all time and taking on all comers. |
The Cherubs is a memorably visual piece of theatre.
Painted gold from head to toe and unaware of humiliation or cold, two gilded angels take to the street on golden scooters innocently interacting and spreading divine mayhem.
They court the banal and the profound, creating the most surreal images on their journey.

Solo walkabout Faremr Giles leans over his five bar gate and gives advice on any subject from farming (about which he knows little) to philosophy (about which he knows less). The image in a busy street is gently surreal, while the repartee is quick witted and hilArious. This animation can be static and play to passers-by, or can move and do a series of cameos. The gate is on wheels and moves easily.

If it's disco you're after there are two John Travoltas suited up and ready to dance. |

You may meet Bugsy and Fingers the Chicago gangsters as they check you out and roll a few suckers. |

Desert Island Discs comes in three formats:
1. A 40 minutes full stage show. The most popular and spectacular show involves an Island shaped stage with two palm trees set at jaunty angles on either side. The show is performed to music and loaded with visual gags. In a grand finale of tightropes and buried treasure, the Castaway unwittingly invokes the curse of the claw and his island paradise is transformed as an angry twenty foot high lobster emerges from the sand.
|
2. A 30 minute sand installation. In this version, an island is created with 10-12 tonnes of playsand which supports the palm trees. If you want a wonderfully surreal installation this is for you - it really makes any site memorably different and turns any urban environment into the seaside for a day. The inflatable lobster is not available with this show.

3. Street Show. Using the stage from the full show, this version is more compact and intimate, but does not have a technician/performer or inflatable. The rest of the show remains very similar without the elements created by the technician and the spectacular finale. |
Syrovy enters the space and everyday objects conspire against him: newspapers become sails, there is a waterfall of cutlery, he dances with chairs and clothes confound him. Eventually he ascends into sanity and finds balance on a wobbling bouncing rope.
The show is inspired by the comic routines of Buster Keaton, Harpo Marx and W.C. Fields and is both spectacular and meticulously detailed.
