The Rigolo Show

Company website

Fresh off the boat from Italy …

Gepetto : puppet master, songster, violin virtuoso, folk dancer…disembarks with his trusty sidekick Pinocchio. After sold out houses across Europe they bring their celebrated show of shows “The Rigolo Show” to North America to begin their world tour.

Exiting the boat at the wrong port the traveling duo become lost… Gepetto mentions to Pinocchio “hey that looks like the Empire State building to me”…Pinocchio says “how do I know I’m trapped in a stupid suitcase”…Yeah you got a point there…Pinocchio speaking from inside the suitcase…”hey don’t you have relatives here”? You da smart a one…if I was so smart you’d be the one in the suitcase…they eventually find Gepettos relatives, eat some pasta, drink some wine, then receive a donkey as a parting gift which brings them to the ship… after a bumpy voyage they finally arrive at the Port of Montreal. Midway on tour… Pinocchio decides he’s tired of sleeping in a suitcase while Gepetto sleeps in a big comfy king size bed…one evening during the show Pinocchio discovers an old abandoned magic wand, he recites the magic words “rigatoni baloni yu phoni” and poof Gepetto is transformed into a marionette…Gepetto delivers an outstanding performance…rattled by his success Pinocchio decides to quit the show. Gepetto must find a replacement…

"Tango in fusion est une œuvre qui combine l’art du tango avec différents styles de danse. Ceux-ci permettent de visualiser par le mouvement et la dramaturgie, certains conflits socioculturels et émotionnels auxquels nous sommes tous confrontés.

Les artistes de tango in fusion s’expriment à travers d’histoires personnelles une extase de la danse du tango dans son essence. Ce qui permet aussi avec la diversité des autres types de mouvements et musique. une connexion avec le spectateur afin de visualiser et briser différents stéréotypes socioculturels."
