Don Cristobal Competition

Bladder Circus Company

Company
For the fourth time, the Bladder Circus will put up its tent at UNIDRAM. In it, there will be musicians, singers and actors. The founding director Szabolcs Szöke is known in Hungary as a dazzling all-rounder, as a (world) musician, instrument maker, theatre maker and visual artist.

Performance
A run-down vaudeville theatre. The search for somebody able to give a dignified performance of Don Cristobal in Lorca's farce Don Cristóbal y la Sena Rosita is turning into a weird and desperate casting show. How can you lend glamour to the entanglements around the rich but old, ugly and brutish Cristobal and the young beauty Rosita who has been promised to him but loves somebody else? With tailcoats, top hats, strange musical instruments and text fragments by Daniil Charms, cheerfully melancholic musical clowns move between chamber opera, circus and a musical happening.
